Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Dirham - al-Muzaffar Yusuf I ND (1249-1295) from Rasulid dynasty made of Silver weighing 1.66 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and Mongolian influences in its design. The coin's obverse side features a rendition of the Rasulid dynasty's emblem, which includes a stylized representation of the Islamic declaration of faith, while the reverse side features a Mongolian-style legend in a circular frame. This blending of styles reflects the cultural exchange and influence that occurred during the Rasulid dynasty's period of rule in Yemen, which was marked by both Islamic and Mongolian influences.
