Yemen Large-Size High-Denomination UNC Set – 500 & 1000 Rials

Product Description

This set includes two **large-size, uncirculated (UNC) Yemeni banknotes**: the 500 Rials (2007, Pick #34) and 1000 Rials (2017, Pick #36C), both issued by the Central Bank of Yemen. These notes belong to Yemen’s pre-2018 large-format series—distinctly larger than the compact notes issued after 2018. Both feature **serial numbers in Arabic (Eastern Arabic) numerals only**, reflecting domestic circulation standards of their era. Offered in pristine UNC condition, they remain crisp, clean, and untouched by handling.

Each note showcases Yemen’s architectural grandeur:

• 500 Rials (Pick #34, 2007): The obverse features the iconic Dar al-Hajar (Rock Palace) near Sana’a—a royal summer residence built atop a 18th-century structure. The reverse displays the majestic Al-Muhdhar Mosque in Tarim, known for its towering mud-brick minaret.
• 1000 Rials (Pick #36C, 2017): The obverse highlights the Seiyun Palace in Hadramaut—one of the world’s largest mud-brick buildings and former seat of the Kathiri sultanate. The reverse presents Bab al-Yaman, the historic gate of Old Sana’a, with the white minarets of the Great Mosque in the background.

Together, these notes represent the peak of Yemen’s large-format banknote design—issued before the country’s currency split during the civil conflict. Their size, detail, and cultural symbolism make them stand out in any collection.
