Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the third reign of al-Nasir Muhammad, who was also known as al-Mahdi Muhammad, and it features an inscription in Arabic that reads "al-Mahdi Muhammad, the Caliph of God" on one side, and the date 1111 (1700) on the other. This coin was made of silver and weighs 2.5 grams. It is a rare and valuable piece of historical currency that provides insight into the economic and political systems of the Yemeni Zaidi State during that time period.
