It's Saudi Arabia. I think it is 1 riyal. Not sure about year. Here's a link to a specific date in muslim calendar: https://www.NGCcoin.com/price-guide...duid-1535718

The year on that one is 1367, or around 1948 in the Gregorian calendar. So... KM#18.

Spot on again, Joseph. It's 1367 in the Lunar Hejira. Here is the date (taken from your second pic and small ):

Thank you so much for your help otto, Joseph7420, & spruett001 ! My patron will be so pleased, they really didn't think I'd be able to find anything on it. I really appreciate it! Have a great weekend!
