Interesting fact
The 1963 North Yemen 1/80 Rial coin features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing a traditional Yemeni dhow (a type of sailing vessel) sailing through the waters of the Red Sea. This design was chosen to represent Yemen's rich maritime history and its importance in the region's trade and commerce.
