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, with Arabic script and imagery that reflects the cultural and religious values of the region. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the enduring legacy of Yemen's rich cultural heritage.
