Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Yemen. The Qu'aiti Sultanate was one of several Yemenite States that emerged in the late 19th century, and this coin was minted during a period of significant turmoil and upheaval in the region. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the resilience and ingenuity of the people of Yemen.
