Interesting fact
The 1 Rupee ND (1880-1890) coin from Ra's Bab al-Mandab (Yemenite States) was minted during a time of great change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of the Ottoman Empire, which had recently adopted a new currency system, the "qirush," which replaced the traditional Islamic coinage. This coin, made of silver, was one of the first coins to be issued under the new system and features an intricate design that reflects the region's rich cultural heritage.
