P#15 is the first 100 Riyal note issued under SAMA, appearing just five years after the Agency gained sole authority over currency issuance following the abolition of the Saudi Arabian Currency Board in 1952. The denomination was a significant one for a country still consolidating its monetary infrastructure around oil revenues that were only beginning to reshape the economy in earnest.
Thomas De La Rue's involvement was unsurprising — they held Saudi printing contracts across multiple early series. The watermark is the primary security feature, a telling sign of how early this sits in Saudi Arabia's paper money history.
