Interesting fact
The 25 Fils coin from North Yemen, minted between 1974 and 1980, features a unique design that reflects the country's rich cultural heritage. On one side, the coin bears the inscription "الجمهورية اليمنية" (Al-Jumhuriyah al-Yamaniyah), which means "The Yemeni Republic," in Arabic script. On the other side, it features a stylized image of a traditional Yemeni dhow, a type of sailing vessel that has been used for centuries in the region's coastal waters. The coin's design serves as a nod to Yemen's rich maritime history and its longstanding tradition of seafaring and trade.
