Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Yemen. The Qu'aiti Sultanate was one of several Yemenite states that emerged in the late 19th century, and this coin was minted during the reign of Sultan Muhammad bin Thuwaini, who ruled from 1881 to 1909. The coin's gold content and intricate design reflect the wealth and cultural exchange that existed in the region at the time.
