Comment
Also known as the "Imadi Riyal" ~ Paul M. PaquetteInteresting fact
The 1/20 Riyal coin from the Mutawakkilite Kingdom (North Yemen) made of Silver and weighing 0.9g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Yahya (1919-1947) and features an intricate design that showcases the kingdom's rich cultural heritage. The coin's design includes an Arabic inscription that reads "Al-Mutawakkil al-Sha'ban" (meaning "The Supported One of God"), which refers to the kingdom's ruling dynasty at the time. Additionally, the coin's silver content and weight of 0.9g make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in rare and unique coins from the Middle East.
