Comment
Note: Listed in Krause as a Mule without further details or pictures. Lettering above is for the normal 4 Rial KM#167Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it is a mule coin, meaning it combines the obverse (front) die of one coin with the reverse (back) die of another coin, resulting in a unique combination that is not found in standard coins. This particular mule coin features the obverse of Abdulaziz and the reverse of Muhammad III, making it a rare and interesting variation in the 4 Rial coin series.
