Interesting fact
The Mutawakkilite Kingdom, which issued this coin, was the first Yemeni state to introduce modern coinage. Before that, the country used a traditional system of bartering and exchange based on silver and gold. The introduction of modern coins like the ⅒ Riyal helped to modernize Yemen's economy and facilitate trade with other countries.
