Interesting fact
The 50 Fils / 1 Dirham coin from the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, which was in circulation from 1976 to 1984, features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin bears an image of a traditional Yemeni dhow, a type of sailing vessel that has been used for centuries in the region. The dhow is depicted sailing through the waters of the Red Sea, with the sun setting in the background. This design not only highlights Yemen's rich maritime history but also serves as a symbol of the country's economic and cultural ties with the Arabian Peninsula and the wider world.
