Rassid Dynasty Silver Dirhem

The Imams of Yemen, who later became Kings of Yemen, were a blend of Zaidi Shia religious and political leaders who ruled parts of Yemen on the Arabian Peninsula from 897AD. These very rare silver dirham coins were issued during the reign of Abdallah al-Mansur, who was part of the Rassid Dynasty that ruled the country from 1187 or 1197 until his death in 1217.
