Weight varies: 0.25-0.40 gInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Harf - al-Nasir Abdullah ND (1837-1840) from Yemeni Zaidi State made of Billon weighing 0.4 g is that it features a unique blend of Islamic and pre-Islamic elements in its design. The obverse side of the coin features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Nasir Abdullah" (meaning "the helper of God"), 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 religious and cultural influences reflects the rich history and diversity of Yemen and its people.
