Yemen Current Banknote Set 2017–2018 – 4 UNC Notes
Product Description
This Yemen Current Set of 4 Banknotes includes the full low-denomination series issued by the Central Bank of Yemen in Aden between 2017 and 2018: 100, 200, 500, and 1000 Rials (Picks #W37, W38, W39, W40). These notes were printed during a period of national division, representing the internationally recognized government based in Aden. All are offered in uncirculated (UNC) condition—crisp, clean, and untouched by circulation.
Each note celebrates Yemen’s natural beauty, architectural heritage, and cultural identity:
- 100 Rials (Pick #W37, 2018): Socotra dragon blood trees and agricultural terraces; reverse features the Queen Arwa Mosque mihrab
- 200 Rials (Pick #W38, 2018): Historic Town of Zabid (UNESCO site); reverse shows Hauf National Park in Al-Mahrah
- 500 Rials (Pick #W39, 2017): Al-Muhdhar Mosque in Tarim; reverse displays the iconic Dar al-Hajar (Rock Palace) near Sana’a
- 1000 Rials (Pick #W40, 2017): Seiyun Palace in Hadramaut; reverse features Bab al-Yaman, the historic gate of Old Sana’a
Together, these notes form a visual atlas of Yemen’s diverse geography—from the alien landscapes of Socotra to the ancient cities of the highlands. Because they were issued during a time of conflict, they also serve as historical documents of resilience.
