| Beschrijving voorzijde | The countermark applied by the Qu'aiti Sultanate occupies the central field, consisting of a multi-line Arabic inscription within a plain incuse punch. The legend reads the name and titles of the Qu'aiti ruler (Munassar), struck over the host coin's original design. Surrounding the central field is a decorative border of interlocking foliate and scroll motifs, characteristic of the Zanzibar host coinage. The overall surface shows the typical double-struck appearance of a countermarked coin, with remnants of the original Zanzibar design visible beneath the applied punch. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Qu'aiti Sultanate of Shihr and Mukalla, based in the Hadhramaut region of what is now Yemen, operated under British protection and conducted much of its trade through the Zanzibar commercial network. This piece is a countermarked issue — a Zanzibar copper host coin punched with a small 15mm stamp to authorize its circulation within Qu'aiti territory, a cheap administrative solution for a state with no mint of its own. The countermark itself reads "Munassar," referencing Awadh bin Umar al-Qu'aiti, whose rule consolidated Qu'aiti authority over the coastal towns of the Hadhramaut in this period.
