Interesting fact
The ½ Qirsh coin from the Kingdom of Hejaz (now Saudi Arabia) is interesting because it was issued during the reign of King Husayn bin Ali, who played a significant role in the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire during World War I. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and an Arabic inscription on the other, which adds to its historical and cultural significance.
