Yemen Churchill

[Gold Guy-migration]

Not too much trouble IDing this. Pretty sure it is from Yemen. Year is 1965. I can't find any info on it, nor do I know why Yemen would be putting Winnie on their coins. Any ideas on value or story?

 

 

Thanks, [{Me --> Local newb}]

I've got one of those too. Krause's Standard Catalog of World Coins (try a library) notes that it 'probably was not intended for circulation, but specimens are known to have been distributed by the exiled monarch (Imam Badr 1962-70) to Saudi and other dignitaries.' The area was full of unrest as a British protectorate until 1967.
