The Bank of Yemen — meaning the Yemen Arab Republic, the northern state headquartered in Sana'a — issued this series while the YAR was still navigating the financial instability that followed the 1962 revolution and decades of civil conflict. The 1984–1988 date span reflects a staggered signing and release schedule rather than a design change; the underlying De La Rue plates remained unchanged across the run.
De La Rue's contract for YAR notes during this period was uninterrupted by the political turbulence further south in the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen, which maintained entirely separate currency arrangements until unification in 1990.
