Yemen Coin List

Yemen' s monetary history in recent decades has been marked by political and economic changes. Since the unification of the country in 1990, Yemen has undergone several transformations in its monetary system, reflecting the country's complex situation.

Coins and banknotes in circulation

The official currency of Yemen is the Yemeni rial, introduced in 1990 after unification. Previously, North Yemen used the North Yemeni rial, while South Yemen used the South Yemeni dinar. Current banknotes feature denominations of 50, 100, 200, 250, 250, 500 and 1000 rials, depicting important historical and cultural sites in the country. Coins, although less common, include values of 1, 5, 10 and 20 rials.

Recent numismatic milestones.

In 2017, due to the economic crisis and armed conflict, there was a cash shortage that led to the issuance of new banknotes printed in Russia. This generated controversy, as the authorities in Aden rejected these banknotes, creating a de facto currency division in the country. In 2019, a new series of 200 rial banknotes was issued to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Yemen's unification, reflecting the country's complex political and economic situation in its numismatics.
