 | | Sultan Mohamed Imaadhudheen IV (1900-1904) introduced what historians believe to be the first machine struck coins, judging the superior quality of the engravements. |
 | | His successor Sultan Mohamed Shamshudeen III (1904-1935) made the last of these coins, 1 and 4 laari denominations, which were struck in the United Kingdom by Heaton's Mint, Birmingham, England in 1913. |
 | | The currency was put into circulation in February 1961 and all the previously traded coins, with the exception of Shamshudeen III's 1 and 4 laari, were withdrawn from circulation on June 17, 1966. |
