1 Riyal silver coin minted during the brief reign of the imam and king Muhammad al-Badr, the last sovereign of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen. The obverse presents an elegant Arabic calligraphic composition with the name and titles of the monarch inside an elaborate frame of vegetal arabesques, characteristic of traditional Islamic art. The reverse shows a stylized vegetal branch surrounded by an interlaced decorative border, maintaining the decorative aesthetic typical of mid-20th-century Arabic numismatics. The specimen retains an attractive original satin lustre, with sharp reliefs, relatively clean fields and minor contact marks compatible with its MS64 grade. This coin also holds notable historical interest as corresponding to the last year of Yemeni monarchy, toppled after the 1962 Republican revolution, becoming a numismatic testament of one of the most significant periods in modern Yemeni history.
