Comment
Weight varies: 0.75-1.10 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Al-Mahdi Abdullah, who was the ruler of the Yemeni Zaidi State from 1818 to 1834. This coin is a rare example of a coin issued during his reign, and it is made of billon, a type of alloy that is composed of a mixture of metals, typically copper and silver. The fact that it weighs 1 gram makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
