I apologize in advance for the not so good photos. This was a fairly large coin, and was too big for my microscope to capture in clarity.

I was wondering if you guys could help me with this one.

Thanks in advance!

I agree, Yemen, good ID by Elegius. One side says 1367, the other has 1373. This looks like a 1/40 riyal (1 Buqsha), Y#12.1.
For best results with future ID requests it would help to include the diameter to the nearest millimeter and the weight to a tenth of a gram.

Thank you very much Eligius.

Seeker55, thanks for the confirmation and further information. Ah! Of course I'm sorry, you're completely right, I should've given the diameter and weight. I don't use this side of the forum very often so I completely forgot about that. Will do!
