Interesting fact
The ½ Ahmadi Riyal coin from the Mutawakkilite Kingdom (North Yemen) was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of King Ahmad bin Yahya, who ruled from 1948 to 1958. During his reign, the kingdom faced many challenges, including the struggle for independence from the British colonial powers and the formation of a new government. Despite these challenges, the kingdom was able to maintain its independence and sovereignty, and the ½ Ahmadi Riyal coin remains a symbol of that era.
