Additional information

KM#46a is a mule struck with two obverse dies — both faces carry the obverse design, making it a genuine mint error rather than a later alteration. The Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency operated the Philadelphia Mint under contract for several of its coin series during this period, and double-obverse mules of this type are consistent with the kind of die-pairing error that occurs when a reverse die is inadvertently replaced with a second obverse. Documented examples are few, and most surface without provenance.
