Comment
Krause lists this coin among other coins rather than in a separate patterns section with #Pn, despite having the following note: "This issue is considered a pattern."Interesting fact
The Pattern ½ Ahmadi Riyal coin was designed to commemorate the first anniversary of the establishment of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom in North Yemen. The coin features an image of the kingdom's founder, Imam Ahmad bin Yahya, on one side, and the national emblem of Yemen on the other. The coin was minted in 1962, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
