Interesting fact

The interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of al-Mutawakkil Ahmad, who was the first Zaidi Imam to rule the Yemeni Zaidi State, and it features an inscription in Arabic that translates to "al-Mutawakkil Ahmad, the Imam, the Commander of the Faithful" on one side, and the other side features a stylized design of a flower.
