Yemeni buqsha

A buqsha or bogache (Arabic: بقشة buqša) is a former monetary unit of the Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen and the Yemen Arab Republic.

The buqsha coin itself is bronze and approximately 27 mm (1 inch) across.

These were introduced after Yemeni independence from the Ottoman Empire.

At first, many buqshas were produced by the Sana'a local mint, and at one stage in the aftermath of the Yemeni revolution it was claimed that the fuselages of crashed aircraft were being used to mint the coins.
