Comment
According to Stephen Album: "dated AH1291 (1874) but actually struck in 1896"Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Yemen. The Sultanate of Lahej was one of several Yemenite States that emerged in the 19th century, and this coin was minted during the reign of Fadl ibn Ali, who ruled from 1863 to 1874. The coin's design and materials reflect the influence of both traditional Islamic coinage and European colonial powers, making it a unique and fascinating piece of numismatic history.
