Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "al-Mansur Muhammad bin Yahya, King of Yemen, in the year 1312" on one side, and an image of a sword and a shield on the other side, symbolizing the power and strength of the Yemeni Zaidi State during that time.
