Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 6 Khumsiyyah - Mansūr 1315 (1898) coin from the Kathiri Sultanate (Yemenite States) is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and European influences in its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "Al-Sultanu al-Mansur" (The Victorious Sultan) in Arabic, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the numeral "6" in the center, surrounded by a wreath of leaves.
