Interesting fact
The ⅛ Riyal coin from the Mutawakkilite Kingdom (North Yemen) made of Silver is notable for its unique design, which features a calligraphic inscription of the kingdom's name in Arabic script on one side, and a depiction of a crescent moon and five-pointed star on the other. This design was used on many coins during the Mutawakkilite era, which lasted from 1911 to 1926, and has become a recognizable symbol of Yemeni currency.
