Accession date: AH1322Interesting fact
The ⅒ Riyal - Yahya (Gold Presentation) 1344 (1926) coin from the Mutawakkilite Kingdom (North Yemen) is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Yemen. The coin was issued during the reign of Imam Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, who ruled North Yemen from 1904 until his assassination in 1948. This period saw significant political and economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency and the establishment of a national bank. The coin's gold content and unique design make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists and historians interested in the history of Yemen.
