Interesting fact
The Ahmadi Riyal coin from the Mutawakkilite Kingdom (North Yemen) was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the previous coinage system in Yemen, which used copper and bronze coins. The use of silver coins was a symbol of the country's economic growth and stability during the reign of Imam Ahmad bin Yahya (1948-1962). The coin's design featured the Imam's name and title, as well as the date of minting in both Islamic and Gregorian calendars. This coin is now a rare collector's item and holds significant historical and numismatic value.
