| Beschrijving voorzijde | Ottoman Turkish 40 Para host coin (KM#766, accession date AH 1327) countermarked with an Arabic counterstamp reading 'Hejaz' applied by authority of King Husayn ibn Ali. The host coin features a central toughra within a beaded inner circle, flanked by floral arabesques, with the regnal year 1327 inscribed in the lower field in Arabic numerals. The countermark was applied to multiple reverse year variants of the host coin, including regnal years 3, 4, and 5. The coin exhibits the toothed border characteristic of late Ottoman nickel coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hashemite revolt against Ottoman rule, launched in June 1916, created an immediate need for a distinct Hejazi coinage — politically necessary as much as practically. These nickel pieces were struck at the Mecca mint, one of the few occasions in modern numismatic history that the holy city served as an active production facility. Husayn bin Ali had declared himself King of the Hejaz only months before this issue appeared.
The nickel composition was dictated by available wartime materials rather than tradition. Arabian coinage of the preceding centuries had run overwhelmingly to silver and copper.
