Comment
Accession date: AH1322Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Yahya Muhammad Hamid ed-Din, who was the ruler of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom (North Yemen) from 1904 until his death in 1948. The coin was part of a limited edition series of gold presentation coins minted in 1926, and it features the king's name and title in Arabic script on one side, and the date and denomination on the other. Despite its small size, the coin is made of 0.92 grams of gold, making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
