| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central field contains a multi-line Arabic legend in ornate calligraphic script within a beaded circular border, stating the denomination, issuing authority, and mint location. The Hijri date (1346) appears within the central legend. Two naturalistically rendered palm trees flank the lower central area, below which a cartouche displays the Arabic numeral fraction 1/4 denoting the quarter-riyal denomination. Outer Arabic inscriptions occupy the upper and lateral fields. The reverse is entirely epigraphic in design, consistent with the aniconic numismatic tradition of the Hejaz and Nejd coinage, and is enclosed by a toothed milled border. |

Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud unified the Hejaz under his control in 1925 after a two-year military campaign that ended Hashimite rule, and the "Hejaz and Nejd and Dependencies" coinage that followed was among the first steps toward a unified monetary system for what would formally become Saudi Arabia in 1932. These transitional issues were struck at the Mecca mint, one of the few instances in the twentieth century of a functioning state mint operating within the holy city.
The .830 fineness matches the old Maria Theresa Thaler standard familiar to Arabian Peninsula traders, a deliberate choice to ease commercial acceptance.
