The Kabir - al-Hadi Ghalib 1267 (1851) coin from the Yemeni Zaidi State is notable for its unique design, which features a calligraphic inscription of the name of the ruler, al-Hadi Ghalib, in the center of the coin, surrounded by a decorative border. This design was a departure from the traditional Islamic coinage design, which typically featured a central image of the ruler or a religious symbol, and was a distinctive feature of the coins issued by the Yemeni Zaidi State during this period.
