I think my favorite Yemenite imperial coin is the pentagonal 1/8 riyal, one of, I believe, only three pentagonal coin types ever minted for circulation anywhere (the other two are a 1/16 riyal also from Yemen, and a Transnistrian plastic 5 rubles that might actually be a banknote). Here's my example, dated 1368 AH = 1948/49 AD: (As usual, terrible photo quality.) Report this Post to the Staff
