The Yemen Currency Board was established in 1964 as part of the newly independent Yemen Arab Republic's first steps toward a sovereign monetary system, replacing the British-administered East African shilling that had circulated in Aden and the protectorates. This note is from that inaugural series — Pick 1 is as foundational as the catalog gets for Yemeni paper money.
Bradbury Wilkinson printed the series from their New Malden facility, a firm that handled currency contracts for dozens of newly independent states during the 1960s decolonization wave. The short issue window before the Currency Board was superseded by the Central Bank of Yemen in 1971 kept total print runs modest.
