Description
1968 Saudi Arabia 1 Riyal Pick 11a PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated Monetary Agency Note
Offered here is a beautiful Saudi Arabia 1 Riyal note issued by the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency, cataloged as Pick 11a and graded PMG 66 EPQ Gem Uncirculated. Dated ND (1968) / AH1379 on the holder, this is a premium-certified example of a classic early Saudi paper money type, combining elegant Arabic design, strong originality, and excellent eye appeal.
In terms of authenticity, the note has been professionally authenticated and graded by PMG (Paper Money Guaranty), one of the most respected services in world currency. The holder identifies the note as Saudi Arabia, Monetary Agency, Pick 11a, ND (1968) / AH1379, 1 Riyal, with Watermark: Arms and Signature #2. The EPQ designation confirms exceptional paper quality, an important feature for collectors seeking original, well-preserved examples.
Historically, this note represents Saudi Arabia during a formative period of modern monetary development, when the Saudi Arabian Monetary Agency was issuing refined and increasingly sophisticated national paper currency. Notes from this era are admired for their blend of traditional Islamic ornament, official state symbolism, and architectural imagery that reflects the Kingdom’s modernization during the mid-20th century.
The design is especially attractive. The face features a detailed architectural vignette framed by intricate Arabic inscriptions and decorative borders, all rendered in a pleasing violet and pastel color palette. The reverse is equally elegant, with richly patterned ornamentation centered around the national emblem of palm tree over crossed swords, a classic symbol of Saudi Arabia. The large open watermark area adds balance to the composition and enhances the note’s distinctive appearance.
The 1 Riyal denomination is a fundamental and collectible type from the series, making it an important piece for both Saudi Arabia specialists and collectors of Middle Eastern banknotes. In PMG 66 EPQ, this example stands at a premium level of preservation, offering strong visual appeal and certified originality.
