| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a three-line Arabic inscription naming the Prophet Muhammad and the Rassid ruler al-Qasim ibn Nu'man, set within a plain inner circle. The legend is executed in angular Kufic script and is enclosed by a beaded border with radiating tick marks at the outer rim, consistent with Rassid fractional coinage of the early 5th century AH. A single large hole pierces the upper portion of the flan, indicating prior suspension. The strike is characteristic of hand-hammered production, with moderate flatness and slight legend weakness near the edges. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Rassid imamate in Yemen operated on a fractional silver system that remains poorly documented in Western numismatic literature, and the sudaysi — a sixth-dirham — was among the smallest denominations struck. Al-Qasim al-Nu'man's reign in the early eleventh century coincided with sustained pressure from Ismaili Fatimid influence pushing into Yemen from the north, making even routine coin production a political act of Zaydi legitimacy.
