Description
Saudi Riyal Banknotes (SAR) – A Currency of Strength and Sovereignty
The Saudi Riyal (SAR) is the official currency of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, symbolizing the nation’s economic strength, rich culture, and modern development. Issued by the Saudi Central Bank (SAMA), Saudi Riyal banknotes are widely trusted across the Middle East and internationally, especially in oil trade and regional commerce.
Available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, and 500 Riyals, Saudi Riyal banknotes feature a blend of historic, cultural, and economic imagery, including portraits of Saudi rulers, Islamic landmarks like the Masjid al-Haram and Masjid an-Nabawi, and depictions of the Kingdom’s infrastructure and national achievements.
Modern Saudi Riyal banknotes are printed with state-of-the-art security features including watermarks, holographic stripes, microtext, security threads, and color-shifting ink. These features ensure both durability and strong protection against counterfeiting.
With the Riyal pegged to the US Dollar (1 USD ≈ 3.75 SAR), it remains a stable currency for travelers, investors, importers, and exporters alike.
