Thanks 'Sap', forgot about those - not sure if I have any of them. Seems the next whole number missing is the 11, wonder if any of those is around.

Great, was waiting for a 2/3 Thaler, but 2/3 Batzen is even nicer (not so common). Yes, I consider 5/10 as unusual as well - have one with 5/10 on a Austrian issue for Milano (I think). Keep them coming.

 Mutawakelite Kingdom of Yemen, 1/80 riyal, 1948 1/80 is a fraction I haven't come across before. This series of Yemeni coins seemed to change pattern midway through: 1/160, 1/80, 1/40, 1/20, OK, nice... but then 1/16, 1/10, 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1. There goes the sublime mathematical beauty.

Nice 'nalaberong', you have more of the other Yemeni denominations? Else I might have to dig my relevant album up and see what I got, good reminder for me.
