The Hejaz notes of 1924 are among the rarest issues from the Arabian Peninsula, produced under Sharif Hussein bin Ali just as his control over the region was collapsing. Ibn Saud's forces were already advancing from Najd, and by late 1924 Mecca had fallen. Whatever quantity of this 100 Arabian Pounds denomination was printed, very little reached meaningful circulation before the Kingdom of Hejaz effectively ceased to exist as an independent state in 1925.
Pick lists this as P#6, but confirmed survivors are so few that population data remains unreliable. The short-lived Hejaz currency experiment left almost no documentary trail.
