Occupying the vast majority of the Arabian Peninsula between the Red Sea and the Persian Gulf—home to Islam's two holiest cities of Mecca and Medina—and governed from its central desert capital of Riyadh, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia unified its currency under King Abdulaziz (Ibn Saud) with the silver Saudi riyal and cupronickel qirsh in 1928–1935. Subdivided into 100 halalas since 1963, the modern Saudi riyal (SAR) circulates in cupronickel and bimetallic coins featuring the crossed-swords-and-palm emblem and royal portraits.
