Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Yemen, as the country was transitioning from a collection of smaller states to a unified nation. The coin's design reflects this shift, featuring a blend of traditional Islamic motifs and modernist elements. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's composition was a deliberate choice, as it was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time, and its use in the coinage was seen as a symbol of the country's wealth and prosperity.
