Interesting fact
The Harf - al-Mahdi ‘Abd Allah ND (1816-1835) coin from the Yemeni Zaidi State was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins in the region to feature an inscription in the local language, rather than the traditional Arabic script. This innovation made the coin more accessible to the general population, and it paved the way for future coins to feature inscriptions in other local languages.
