What should be done with the 2024 Yemen "coin"?

2 posts • viewed 85 times

A new coin was announced for Yemen (I saw it in World Coin News blog) and it was added to Numista.

 

But more recent reporting says the coin was produced by a Houthi group, not by the government.

 

Where should this item be in Numista? It doesn't seem to belong under the Republic of Yemen where it currently sits. Should a new Houthi subentry of Yemen be created or should it go to Exonumia?

 

For now I'm going to add context to the Comments section of the page.

 

(I can't tag a referee as the staff listing doesn't include a referee for Yemen, for coins, banknotes, or exonumia.)

The World Coin News blog you linked says it was made by the Houthi-controlled Central Bank.  I think it's too early to come to a decision on the status of the new coin.  It may only make sense after time has passed. I'd leave it where it is for now.
