Yemen, located on the Arabian Peninsula, covers a land area of about 527,968 square kilometers and has a population of approximately 32 million people. The design of Yemeni banknotes reflects the country's rich history, cultural diversity, and natural landmarks. The notes often feature portraits of historical figures, such as past rulers and leaders, as well as iconic architectural monuments like the old city of Sana'a, known for its ancient mud-brick buildings. Traditional patterns and symbols representing Yemen's heritage, such as khat plants and traditional clothing, are also depicted. In recent years, Yemen’s currency has incorporated modern security features, though the country’s ongoing conflict has affected the stability and circulation of its currency.
