| Aversbeschreibung | The field is divided into four quadrants by two intersecting diagonal lines, creating a characteristic cruciform layout typical of Hejazi coinage under Husayn ibn Ali. A central circular medallion bears the Arabic religious inscription 'الله وفقه' (Allah waffaqahu — 'May God grant him success'). The four surrounding quadrants contain Arabic legends identifying the ruler and his titles. The entire design is executed in bold, raised Arabic calligraphy against a flat field, with the date AH 1334 appearing in the lower segment. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Husayn bin Ali proclaimed the Arab Revolt against Ottoman rule in June 1916, and these bronze qirsh pieces were among the first coins struck under his authority as newly declared King of the Hejaz. The Sharif of Mecca had coordinated closely with British intelligence — T.E. Lawrence among them — before the uprising, and the minting of a distinct Hejazi coinage was a deliberate assertion of independence from Istanbul's monetary system.
The kingdom itself lasted barely a decade before Ibn Saud's Wahhabi forces overran Mecca in 1924 and absorbed the Hejaz into what would become Saudi Arabia.
