The 1928 riyal in the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd[edit]
Rodw, Can you please look again at that disambiguation that you did at British currency in the Middle East. The 1928 riyal was not a Saudi riyal. The Saudi riyal only came into existence in 1936, and Saudi Arabia itseld only came into existence in 1932. ThreeDrunkenLeopards (talk) 11:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I've removed the dab link. Is there a better target for the link?— Rod talk 11:57, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
Thanks. It's like this, and it's complicated. On 22nd January 1928, the Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd introduced a silver currency with a new riyal coin in the likeness of the Maria Theresa thaler, and here is a link about it, https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces20478.html. But now I have noticed something that I don't quite understand. Although the concept of Saudi Arabia didn't exist until 1932, and this coin was issued in 1928, the link that I have supplied claims that there is an inscription on the reverse side of the coin which mentions the term Saudi Arabia. On the talk page at British currency in the Middle East there is an editor who can translate Arabic. I'm going there to ask if that inscription actually is on the coin. It's strange, because it contradicts the wording on the obverse of the coin. ThreeDrunkenLeopards (talk) 12:29, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
- I got a reply from editor Makeandtoss, and apparently the 1928 coin does actually say "one Arab, Saudi riyal" on the reverse, but he explained that the term Saudi will not have been used in conjunction with the name of the country KSA that was defined in 1932. The Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd was of course ruled by the Saud family. Nevertheless, the Saudi riyal as such began in 1936 when a new currency was introduced at par with the Indian rupee. This would seem to have been done to align the Saudi Arabian currency with the British Protectorates along the south and east coasts, that were all now using Indian rupees. Prior to that, Ottoman piastres would have been circulating with the Maria Theresa thaler rated at 20 piastres. The 1928 coin was not therefore a Saudi riyal in the current sense of the word.
