Description
Imam Yahya gold Fantasy 2 Riyals (10 Lira) AH 1358 (1939) MS64 NGC, Sana'a mint, KM-YN70 (4 Known), Fr-7a. 68.95gm. A wonderfully scarce emission regardless of its origins which are somewhat contested even today. A curious type that diverges in style from contemporary Arabic script and is potentially the product of a skilled hand, produced in the late 1970s or early 1980s, with a complete paucity of auction appearances until the 1980s. The piece exhibits an admirable preservation despite its age, punctuated by a honeyed patina one would expect from more vintage gold issues and is certainly worthy as a curiosity in an advanced collector's cabinet.Metal: Gold
Diameter: 46mm
