In 1932, Said bin Taimur had not yet taken the throne — that came in 1932 itself, making the dating of countermarked issues from this transitional period genuinely complicated. The countermark authenticating these quarter Annas was applied to existing copper stock as a practical measure to extend the usability of coinage in a territory where fresh mint supply was irregular and expensive to procure. The small 8mm punch distinguishes this variety under C#21.1 from later or differently sized applications, a distinction that matters considerably to attribution.
