Josef New Member Czech Republic 16 Posts	Posted 07/16/2009 1:26 pm Just for my understanding - if this coin was minted 1955-56, why the islamic date 1367 AH is on? 1367 should be cca 1948. I have info, that the name of this coin is "halala". Could you clearify it, please. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
Josef New Member Czech Republic 16 Posts	Posted 07/17/2009 04:41 am I am back again because I like to know what this coin really is. I looked at http://(131231) Not Allowed - Auto-Removed /countries/Yemen.php and item y#18 1 Halala (AH1367) 1947. It looks exactly like coin which Numistatist6 was asking to identify.

I guess they thought that date was more important to observe than the actual date the coins were struck. Quote: I have info, that the name of this coin is "halala". Could you clearify it, please. I believe you're correct, this is the halala or 1/80th riyal, the coin listed as KM.Y# 18, not the buqsha KM/Y# 19. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
