With Pin addedInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of traditional Islamic architecture and modern design elements. The obverse side of the coin depicts the Al-Saleh Mosque in Sana'a, Yemen, which is a prominent example of Islamic architecture in the country. The reverse side, on the other hand, features a stylized design of a palm tree, which is a common motif in modern Yemeni art. This blend of traditional and modern elements makes the coin a fascinating representation of Yemen's rich cultural heritage.
