Interesting fact
The 10 Para coin from the Kingdom of Hejaz (now Saudi Arabia) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great change in the region. The coin was minted in 1916, just a few years after the Ottoman Empire, which had ruled the region for centuries, was defeated in World War I. This led to the establishment of the modern state of Saudi Arabia, and the 10 Para coin is a reminder of the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
