Comments

The riyal (Arabic:ريال) was the currency of the Kingdom of Hejaz between 1916 and 1925. It was subdivided into 20 qirsh (Arabic: قرش‎).
The riyal was a silver coin the same weight as the Ottoman 20 kuruş coin but was minted in .917 fineness rather than .830 fineness.
The Hejaz riyal was replaced by the Saudi riyal in 1925 at par.

Kings of Hejaz
Hussein bin Ali (10 June 1916 – 3 October 1924)
Ali bin Hussein (3 October 1924 – 19 December 1925)
