Interesting fact
The 1 Qirsh / 5 Halalas coin from Saudi Arabia, issued in 1972, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of featuring a traditional image of the king or a national symbol, the coin bears an image of a palm tree and the Arabic inscription "Fayṣal 1392" (Fayṣal being the name of the king at the time, and 1392 being the Islamic year in which the coin was minted). This design was chosen to commemorate the kingdom's 50th anniversary, and it represents the country's commitment to agriculture and self-sufficiency.
