| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a multi-line Arabic inscription filling the entire field, recording the full honorific titles and genealogy of the ruler Faisal bin Turki. The text, arranged in flowing naskh script across several lines, identifies the Imam by his lineage and titles. The field is plain without an inner border, and the coin edge features a continuous milled pattern providing a decorative and functional border to the reverse design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Muscat and Oman's copper coinage of this period was struck under Faisal bin Turki, who ruled from 1888 to 1913 and maintained a careful balancing act between British influence and nominal Ottoman proximity. The "with border" variety designated by KM#8.2 distinguishes it from the borderless type, a die distinction that reflects the practical realities of small-run colonial-era copper production rather than any deliberate policy change.
These quarter anna pieces circulated alongside a chaotic mix of Maria Theresa thalers, Indian rupees, and local issues — copper fractions serving the bazaar trade that silver could not efficiently reach.
