Gigi2 Valued Member United States 243 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 9:04 pm Back again with questions. These notes were in an uncle's collection. I'm betting someone on this forum can identify. If not, is there an app that I could download to identify? Report this Post to the Staff

CelticKnot Bedrock of the Community United States 12308 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 11:25 pm You have a somewhat-circulated 1 Riyal note from Saudi Arabia. Hard to tell from the photo but it might be a P31c. You can pick up uncirculated examples for $1 - 2 US on ebay. P.S. It always helps with identification if you post both faces of the note in question. Edited by CelticKnot 06/24/2024 11:30 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Hondo Boguss Bedrock of the Community United States 15747 Posts	Posted 06/25/2024 12:18 am Google Lens is a wonderful tool to identify unknown bills and coins. You can use Numista to find out more information after you have identified it: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...?ct=banknote Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Report this Post to the Staff

In this regard, just a regular Google search would probably work wonders. Just take a picture of your note, as square-on as you can get it (i.e. not off at an angle as the OP picture is), and crop out as much of the non-note background as you can. Especially for current or near-current notes, there should be plenty of examples for Google's algorithms to find a match. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
walk2dwater Pillar of the Community Canada 2286 Posts	Posted 06/29/2024 3:29 pm Although I rarely use it (partly b/c I like to do everything the long way & search as many resources as I can), you can also tap into the Image button {SEARCH} on Numista. Try this link: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/in...?ct=banknote (LOOK for the ICON below "the" (& All Issuers box) in Search the banknote catalogue. It has a + >camera icon< Image next to + Edit Filters button. Once you select that Image Search button, it will prompt you to upload your image & once you do that- Numista will connect you to the correct note). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUc8Kx5wCI4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LeYOYtSAoc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq1DlqkPHhE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PsCjxldIao Edited by walk2dwater 06/30/2024 1:10 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Dearborn Moderator United States 64158 Posts	Posted 07/08/2024 10:02 pm The note is Saudi Arabia 1 riyal King 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Saud But I'll be darned if I can read the date then translate it..

Sap Moderator Australia 16181 Posts	Posted 07/11/2024 6:51 pm The date on this note is at the bottom left, between the signatures and the large "1": AH 1433, which more or less translates to AD 2012. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
