1 Dirham - al-Mansúr-bi Alláh 'Abdalláh Dhafar

The Rassid imams of Yemen represent one of the oldest continuous Zaydi Shia dynasties in Islamic history, tracing their lineage directly to al-Qasim ibn Ibrahim. By the early 13th century, their control over the Yemeni highlands was persistently contested by rival Ayyubid governors pushing north from Aden and Zabid, making coin production under any given imam an assertion of political survival as much as administrative function. Al-Mansur bi-llah 'Abdallah's issues from this period are scarce in any condition — highland Yemen was not a high-volume minting environment.
