The islands of [[Zanzibar]], Pemba, and Mafia were ruled by the Omanis since 1698 until 1860 when it gained independence from [[Oman]]. It subsequently fell under control of the British in 1890, and became part of [[Tanzania]] in 1964, when the later gained independence. Coins of Pemba Island, unlike Zanzibar, were foreign coins countermarked with a clove-like symbol.
