2 Qirsh / 10 Halalāt - Fahd

This issue spans the reign of Fahd bin Abdulaziz, who came to power in 1982 following the death of his half-brother Khalid. The SAMA series it belongs to was introduced partly to rationalize the dual denomination system — the Qirsh and Halala designations appearing together on the same coin reflect a transitional accounting convention rather than any change in monetary policy.

Fahd suffered a debilitating stroke in 1995, after which Crown Prince Abdullah assumed effective governance while Fahd remained nominal king until his death in 2005. Coins bearing his name continued striking through that entire period of diminished rule.
