YEMEN ARAB REPUBLIC

2 RIYALS SILVER PROOF, 1969

25.0 GMS, .9250 SILVER 0.735 OZ ASW

SUBJECT : QADHI MOHAMMED MAHMUD AZZUBAIR

OBV : NATIONAL ARMS

REV : ROARING LION'S HEAD 3/4 LEFT

VERY LOW MINTAGE 4200 ONLY

      The Yemen heavily concave, mirrored and frosted lion coin is the most dramatic and best executed piece of numismatic animal life minted in the 20th Century.  What a metallic testament to wildlife and the coiners art!  Most completely splendid - the king of beasts and the king of coins.  This two-riyal piece, catalog KM# 4, offers amazingly bold and attractive contrast and presentability.  This coin is sterling, .925 silver, with the 2 Riyals at .7435 ounces of pure silver.  This  37mm piece has a mintage of only 4,200 for worldwide distribution.  This is a fantastic coin, and an interesting and masterfully unique technical presentation!  With this level of artistry, and the low mintage, this popular item is probably a very decent future investment.  Truly a major, bold and dramatic piece for an Arabian Peninsula collection, or masterworks of Islamic art.
