U.S. President John F. Kennedy had Galt & Bro, a Washington D.C. based jeweler, make a gold plaque as a gift for the Sultan, however it was never picked up from the jeweler following the assassination of the President in 1963.[3]
He ruled Zanzibar from October 9, 1960, to July 1, 1963. On his death, he was succeeded as Sultan by his son Jamshid.
