| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features a beaded inner circle enclosing the royal name and titles of King Abd al-Aziz ibn Abd al-Rahman Al Saud, rendered in fine calligraphic Arabic script. Surrounding the inner circle, a broad outer legend in cursive Arabic script reads the full royal style across the field. At the lower portion of the coin, two crossed swords are depicted below two palm trees, forming the emblematic device of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The design is entirely epigraphic in character, with no portrait, relying on the tradition of Islamic coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Saudi gold Guinea — modeled dimensionally on the British sovereign — was introduced in 1951 as part of Abd al-Aziz ibn Saud's effort to establish a credible gold-backed currency at a moment when oil revenues were beginning to transform the kingdom's finances. The Philadelphia Mint struck these pieces under contract, an arrangement that suited a country without its own minting infrastructure.
Mintage was relatively brief; by 1954 the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency had shifted priorities toward paper currency backed by silver riyals. Philadelphia's involvement makes this one of the more unusual contractual relationships in mid-century American mint history.
