Very interesting!!!! I do not see many coins like this. Do you collect coins from this part of the world? What is the denomination of this coin? What would someone typically purchase with this coin?

This coin reminds me of an excellent movie "Salmon Fishing on the Yemen". Don't let the title put you off, it is worth a view, I think available for free if you have Amazon Prime. Nice Coin but with very few elements beyond the ornate writing and a sprig of ? Dates?

What a beaut!! It is a coin I should try to add to my Travel Collection. Seeing it brings back (not so) fond memories of standing in the old Fort of the British Protectorate of Aden one Autumn afternoon, listening to rifle fire between the British and the Yemeni Rebels a few hundred yards away in the town. That coin was only three years old when I visited. What a story that coin could tell. BTW, the Yemenis finally won about a year latter, and Aden is now just a poor port town.
