Interesting fact
The 10 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 inscription in Arabic on the other, which translates to "Husayn, King of the Arabs, 1327" (1327 being the Islamic year equivalent to 1916). This coin was made of silver (.830) and weighs 12.027 grams.
