Qu’aiti was an autonomous state on the gulf of Aden, consolidating from 1858 to about 1881, at which point it largely controlled the Hadhramaut coast. The Qu’aiti rulers formed a unified sultanate in 1902 that would become part of the Aden Protectorate. It resisted incorporation into a larger Yemeni state being formed by the British (South Arabia). Eventually, it was forcibly integrated into the People’s Democratic Republic of Yemen in 1967. Coinage of the early Qu’aiti State consisted of spurious, counterstamped foreign coins. The example shown was auctioned by Steve Album (auction 15, lot 1869) on January 18-19, 2013, and did not sell. The lot description reads: "QU'AITI STATE OF SHIHR & MUKALLA: Awadh b. 'Umar, as Hakim, 1881-1902, AE 5 chomsihs, AH1318, a superb quality example with traces of original red mint luster, About Unc."
