الجمهورية العربية اليمنية
Yemen Arab Republic
Central Bank of Yemen
Currency : Rial (YER)
This is one odd note that I have from this series.
The Yemen Arab Republic was previously known as North Yemen and was established between 1962 to 1990. In May 1990, it merged with the People's Democratic Republic of Yemen or South Yemen and formed the Republic of Yemen.
This 20 rial belongs to the 1990-1997 series. This note was reportedly issued in nd1990. It seems that following the merger between the two countries, they retained the Central Bank of Yemen's name as their new nation's central bank. I suppose they have also merged the Bank of Yemen too.
Whilst the Bank of Yemen had only issued two sets of notes between 1965 to 1984, in my opinion, their designs of the notes are much nicer. More importantly, their sizes are also larger too. South Yemen was in existence between 1967 and 1990.
This is the only note that I have for this series.
