| Additional information |
Tarim, a city in the Hadhramaut valley of what was then the Aden Protectorate, issued this piece in 1352 AH — a moment of acute political uncertainty as British colonial authority over the region was visibly fraying. The Hadhramaut sultanates were navigating competing pressures from Arab nationalist movements, the imminent collapse of the Federation of South Arabia, and Yemeni civil war spillover. Local coinage in this environment was as much a political assertion as a practical instrument.
The X# reference places this squarely in Krause's "Unusual World Coins" — meaning it was never a mainstream circulation issue. Likely struck in very limited numbers for presentation or commemorative purposes.
