An interesting one. It's from the Kingdom of Hejaz, a 1/4 piastre (or 1/4 qirsh) dated 1334 Year 8 (Islamic calendar), or 1922/3 AD. KM# 25. Often found worn, and often found with the Arabic counterstamp "Nejd"; the Saudi rulers of neighbouring Nejd conquered Hejaz in 1925, forming the country now known as Saudi Arabia. CV $25 in VF.
