Comment
Several varieties exist with several differences in legends. These coins can be compared at: http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/Yemen_Arab_Republic.htmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Islamic design and modernist elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the value in Arabic numerals, surrounded by a wreath of leaves, while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a coffee plant, which was a major export crop for North Yemen at the time. This blend of traditional and modern design reflects the country's rich cultural heritage and its efforts to modernize and develop its economy during the 1960s.
