1/4 Anna - Faisal without central circle

The Sultanate of Muscat and Oman struck copper coinage in the 1890s partly to assert administrative coherence over a polity whose interior and coastal territories were governed under increasingly separate arrangements — a tension that would eventually produce the formal Muscat-Oman division recognized by the British. The without-central-circle variety, catalogued as KM#4.2, is distinguished from KM#4.1 solely by that absent die element, a detail that almost certainly reflects a worn or damaged working die rather than any intentional design change.
