1 Rial Qadhi Azzubairi Memorial

Issued to honor Ahmad Muhammad al-Zubairi, poet and revolutionary executed in 1965 — almost certainly on the orders of royalist forces during the civil war that had consumed North Yemen since the 1962 coup. The commemorative came four years after his death, by which point the republican government had consolidated enough to memorialize its martyrs in silver.

It is one of only a handful of Yemeni commemoratives from this period struck in .925 silver, and mintages were low.
