Comment
Thick PlanchetInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 3 Khumsiyyah 1258 (1842) from Tarim (Yemenite States) made of Copper weighing 7.5g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and local motifs on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Mu'ayyad bi-llah" (The Sultan aided by God) in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a tree, which is a common motif in Yemeni coinage. This blend of Islamic and local elements reflects the rich cultural heritage of Yemen and the influence of Islam on the region's art and architecture.
