4 Lariat - Muhammad Shamsuddeen III silver

The Maldivian lariat coinage of this period was produced under the sultanate at a time when the islands operated as a British protectorate, with monetary affairs largely divorced from London's direct control. Pattern issues from this reign are poorly documented in standard references — the KM#Pn? attribution reflects genuine cataloging uncertainty rather than a gap in scholarship.

Muhammad Shamsuddeen III ruled for over three decades, the longest sultanate of the modern Maldivian period, yet coinage attributable specifically to 1913 remains thinly represented in major collections.
