| Beschrijving keerzijde | A finely detailed, naturalistic lion passant-guardant, depicted in full profile standing on a grassy ground line, with its full mane rendered in high sculptural relief. The beast faces right with a commanding posture against a deeply mirrored, unadorned field. The design occupies the majority of the reverse, with no peripheral legend, conveying a bold heraldic simplicity. The entire composition is enclosed within a beaded border consistent with the obverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued by the Yemen Arab Republic in the turbulent years following the 1962 republican revolution that ended the Mutawakkilite Kingdom, this commemorative honored Muhammad Mahmud al-Zubairi, the poet and nationalist politician assassinated in April 1965 — a killing widely attributed to royalist forces still fighting the ongoing civil war. Al-Zubairi had been one of the intellectual architects of the republican movement, and his death mid-conflict made him an immediate martyr figure for the Sana'a government.
The civil war with royalist factions, backed by Saudi Arabia against Egyptian-supported republicans, was still unresolved when this piece was struck. Collector-targeted gold issues of this weight were a common revenue mechanism for cash-strapped governments of the period.
