The denominations were mazunas and dirhams, with one dirham = 50 mazunas. The 'crown' denomination was one rial, which was equal to ten dirhams. During this time, the ruler was honored on the coins not directly by name, but by a word or expression that alluded to him. Shown is a five mazunas bronze coin from the Birmingham mint. The date is AH 1320, or 1902 AD.
