Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Sir Winston Churchill, who was a British statesman and politician, on one side, and the emblem of North Yemen on the other. This is unusual because Churchill had no direct connection to Yemen or its history, and it is rare to see a foreign leader featured on a coin from another country. It is likely that this coin was created as a trial or pattern piece, and was not widely circulated or used as official currency.
