This type was countermarked for the Kingdom of [[Hejaz]], now the western part of Saudi Arabia, in the early 1920's. The coinage of Hejaz was initially comprised of countermarked coins from [[Turkey]] and Maria Teresa Thalers, with later regular issues until Hejaz was eventually assimiliated into [[Saudi Arabia]]. This coin is considered by some to be a spurious issue.<br />
