Interesting fact

The coin is quite interesting! One fascinating fact about it is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Yemen's history. The country was facing political instability and was struggling to maintain its independence from the Ottoman Empire. Despite these challenges, the coin still managed to be produced, which is a testament to the resilience of the Yemeni people.
