This Bogshah stamp features a central circular frame containing the Arabic denomination and elaborate calligraphic script. The text identifies the government as the "Mutawakkilite Kingdom of Yemen" and honors Imam Yahya bin Muhammad, whose name is woven into the circular design. The corner spandrels are decorated with traditional floral motifs, and the entire design is enclosed within a clean, rectangular border with standard perforations.
