| Additional information |
No Sultanate of Pemba has issued coinage. Pemba is an island administered as part of Tanzania's Zanzibar semi-autonomous region, and no internationally recognized or numismatically documented sultanate there struck currency in 2013. This piece is almost certainly a fantasy issue — produced for sale to collectors with no governmental authority behind it.
