4Qersh -Saudi Arabia

— AI expert opinion (2026-10-31) — Identification: Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, reign of King Saud bin Abdulaziz. 4 Qirsh (also called 1 Ghirsh/4 Qirsh, 'Arba' Qurush'), dated AH 1376 (about 1956-57 CE). Obverse shows the crossed swords and palm tree emblem with the royal Arabic legend. Reverse shows the denomination numeral 4, the date 1376 and the denomination text. The type is the cupro-nickel/copper-nickel 4 Qirsh (KM#42 or similar, to be verified). Estimated grade: Approximately VF to XF. Main design elements and lettering are sharp, with light surface marks and uneven toning/patina on the reverse. The harsh, colored lighting makes precise grading difficult. Indicative value range: $2 – $8 Rarity: common Authenticity notes: Design, calligraphy, and the numeral/date layout look consistent with the genuine Saudi 4 Qirsh type. The listed metal 'Silver' and year '1954' appear incorrect: AH 1376 corresponds to 1956-57 and the coin looks like base metal. The color variation may come from lighting and toning. Check weight (roughly 4.5-5 g is expected, verify against catalogue), diameter, edge type (the type is usually plain or reeded depending on the series, verify), and that the coin is non-magnetic or only weakly magnetic as appropriate. Compare against catalogue images (Krause) for font details and date style. Tips: Take photos in diffuse natural daylight without flash, against a neutral background, and include a shot of the edge. Record weight (to 0.01 g) and diameter. Do not clean the coin; cleaning reduces value and can leave hairlines. Store in an inert holder (PVC-free flip or capsule) in a dry place. A simple density or magnet test can confirm that it is not silver. (Automatic AI opinion from photos — not an appraisal or proof of authenticity)
