Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Harf - al-Mansur Muhammad bin Yahya 1320 (1903) from Yemeni Zaidi State made of Bronze is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic elements on its design. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "al-Mansur Muhammad bin Yahya" in Arabic, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of a dragon, which is a symbol associated with the pre-Islamic Himyarite Kingdom that once ruled over much of Yemen. This blending of cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of Yemen and its people.
