Obverse

Depicts the Saudi Arabian national emblem, legend above "Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud" and below "King of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia".

The Saudi Arabian national emblem was adopted in 1950. It consists of two crossed swords with a palm tree in the space above and between the blades.

The two swords represent the Kingdom of Hejaz and the Sultanate of Najd and its dependencies, which were united under Ibn Saud in 1926. The palm tree represents the Kingdom's assets which are defined as its people, heritage, history, and resources natural and non-natural. Thus, the palm is shown to be guarded by the two swords, which represent the force to be used in defence of the nation.
