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 ¼ Ahmadi Riyal coin was designed to commemorate the first anniversary of the coronation of King Ahmad bin Yahya, who ruled North Yemen from 1948 until his death in 1962. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the national emblem of Yemen on the other. It's interesting to note that this coin was never actually circulated, and only a small number of pattern coins were minted, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
