Interesting fact

The coin is quite unique and has an interesting history. One fascinating fact about it is that it was issued during a time of great turmoil in Yemen, when the country was facing political instability and foreign invasion. Despite these challenges, the coin still managed to be produced and circulated, which speaks to the resilience and resourcefulness of the Yemeni people during that time.
