| Obverse description | Central field features the national emblem of Saudi Arabia, comprising a palm tree above two crossed swords, rendered in raised relief. The Arabic legend 'خادم الحرمين الشريفين' (Servant of the Two Holy Mosques) arcs across the upper portion of the field. The regnal name 'الملك سلمان بن عبد العزيز آل سعود' (King Salman bin Abd al-Aziz Al Saud) is inscribed along the lower field. The Gregorian year 2016 appears to the left of the emblem and the Hijri year 1438 to the right. The entire design is framed by an ornate arabesque border running around the coin's rim. |

| Additional information |
The 2016 Saudi halala series was issued under SAMA following Salman bin Abdulaziz's accession to the throne in January 2015, necessitating a full recoinage to update the royal name across all circulating denominations. The brass composition replaced the earlier bimetallic and cupro-nickel specifications used in predecessor issues, a quiet but deliberate cost-reduction measure as oil revenues contracted sharply during the 2014–2016 price collapse.
