| Beschrijving keerzijde | Bare male head in right-facing profile occupying the central field, rendered in a schematic style characteristic of Himyarite silver coinage, with the hair indicated by closely spaced parallel ridges and a prominent beaded beard. A large circular royal monogram composed of Ancient South Arabian letters appears to the right of the bust, suspended from a vertical staff. An Ancient South Arabian legend surrounds the effigy along the outer border, reading the royal titulature of Tha'ran Ya'ub Yuhan'im of Raydan. Below the neck truncation, additional South Arabian characters serve as a secondary inscription or mint notation. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Himyarite quinarius series derives from imitations of Roman Republican denarii that filtered into South Arabia through the incense trade, progressively abstracted over generations until the original types became nearly unrecognizable. The monogram on the cheek identifies the issuing authority — in this case Tharan Yaub Yuhanim, a Himyarite ruler whose reign falls within a period of intense political competition between Himyar and the rival kingdom of Saba. The Huth 451 variant designation signals a die or monogram configuration not fully catalogued in the standard reference, which is not unusual for this series given the sheer number of monogram combinations documented across surviving specimens.
