Love of 6 various coins, different monograms/types. One pierced. Fairly decent coins for this rare type, all attributable.

This type is variously attributed to Karib'īl Watār Yuhan'im or 'Amdān Bayān Yahaqbiḍ, based on the monograms found on their epigraphic coins. This rare type is very unusual, and is very different from the normal common Himyarite coinage. It is probably a provincial issue, or coinage struck at a lesser mint, or an earlier, pre-Himyarite issue - the monogram ḥḍr (𐩢 𐩳 𐩧) (found on some of these small fractions) is known on the coins clearly pre-Himyar, of uncertain origin as well on Himyari types with honorific titles wtr and mostly ‘mdn byn.
