| Obverse description | Central field features the Arabic date ١٣١٣ (AH 1313) above the denomination '1/4 ANNA', all enclosed within a raised inner circle. The circular English legend 'FESSUL BIN TURKEE IMAM OF MUSCAT AND OMAN' surrounds the central device along the outer rim. The lettering is rendered in a combination of Latin and Arabic scripts, with the design presenting a distinctly utilitarian colonial-era style typical of Gulf state coinage of the late nineteenth century. |

| Reverse description | A three-line Arabic inscription reading 'عمان / ربع آنه / فيصل بن تركي' occupies the central field, identifying the issuer and denomination. The inscription is enclosed within a wreath of stylized oak or olive branches tied at the base with a ribbon or knot motif, framing the legend on both sides. A fine beaded border runs along the inner edge of the coin's rim, adding a decorative finish consistent with coinage of the Omani sultanate under Faisal bin Turki. |
