A large rectangular countermark bearing the Arabic inscription 'الحجاز' (Al-Hejaz) is applied prominently in the central field, overstruck in black ink as an emergency validation mark. The outer border is decorated with a continuous dotted rim and Arabic legends. This countermark identifies the coin as officially sanctioned for circulation within the Kingdom of Hejaz under Sharif Husayn ibn Ali. |

The Hejaz coinage of 1916 was struck in direct support of the Arab Revolt, launched that same year when Sharif Hussein bin Ali declared independence from Ottoman rule in June. British backing — political, financial, and military — made the revolt viable, and a distinct coinage was part of establishing the trappings of sovereignty. These nickel pieces were minted in Bombay under British arrangement, a logistical detail that explains the otherwise incongruous use of nickel at a time when the surrounding region's coinage ran almost exclusively to silver and copper.
