History reference:
The Saudi riyal (riyal) has been the national currency and money of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia since 1928, even before the creation of a single state. Independent minting of coins on the territory o...f Hijaz (the coastal western region of the Arabian Peninsula with the main Islamic centers - Mecca and Medina) began rather late - at the beginning of the 19th century. These were copper mahmoudis and silver rupees, which were minted by the sheriffs of Mecca, nominally dependent on the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. In 1916, with the support of the British and Arab nationalists, the sheriff of Mecca, Hussein ibn Ali al-Hashimi, declared himself king of the Hijaz. He also began minting his own coins in Mecca. In addition to the minting of coins of the Ottoman type (kirsh, para and dinars), under Hussein, all silver rials-thalers were countermarked. They were minted with the word "HIJAZ" in Arabic script.

The obverse of Manx pound banknotes of all denominations invariably depicts a portrait of the Queen of Great Britain - Elizabeth II in various periods of her life. The digital denomination of the banknote is depicted in the upper left and lower right corners of the banknote, and in words in English - in the upper central part. The name of the issuing authority is also displayed in the upper central part above the capital version of the denomination. In the central part of the banknote, the coat of arms of the island is depicted - Triskeleon.
