Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 30 Khumsi 1258 (1842) from Tarim (Yemenite States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 7.65 g 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), while the reverse side features a stylized representation of a tree, which is a common motif in Yemeni coinage. This blend of Islamic and local design elements reflects the rich cultural heritage of Yemen and the influence of Islam on the region's art and architecture.
