| Comments |
The Bank of Yemen — formally the Bank of the Yemen Arab Republic — issued this note at a moment when the North Yemeni economy was heavily dependent on remittances from workers in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf. The dinar had replaced the rial as the country's unit of account through an earlier reform, though the rial remained the dominant denomination in everyday commerce; the 1 Dinar saw relatively limited transactional use as a result.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement in North Yemeni currency was long-running, and P#7 fits within a consistent series relationship between the republic and the London printer that predates the 1984 issue by over a decade.
