A questionable issue according to some authorities
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Yemen. The country was under Ottoman rule at the time, and the coin's design reflects this influence, featuring Arabic script and imagery that was typical of Ottoman-era coins. Despite the turmoil of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Yemen's history and a testament to the country's rich cultural heritage.
