Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee 1840 coin from Ra's Bab al-Mandab (Yemenite States) is interesting because it was made during a time when Yemen was still a collection of smaller states, rather than a unified country. The coin features a unique blend of Islamic and colonial influences, reflecting the complex history of the region.
