The Hejaz £5 is one of the rarest notes from one of the shortest-lived issuing authorities in Middle Eastern monetary history. The Kingdom of Hejaz — the western coastal strip of the Arabian Peninsula containing Mecca and Medina — issued currency independently for only a brief window before Ibn Saud's forces conquered the region in 1925, absorbing it into what would become Saudi Arabia. Pick lists only three notes for the entire series, and the £5 is the hardest to locate.
Surviving examples are exceptionally scarce, almost certainly because the issuing period was so brief and the political disruption so total.
