Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the third reign of al-Nasir Muhammad, who was also known as al-Mahdi Muhammad, and was the leader of the Zaidi State in Yemen. This coin is a rare example of a silver coin issued during his reign, as most coins from this time period were made of copper or gold. Additionally, the coin weighs only 0.2 grams, making it a unique and rare find for collectors.
