Foreign coin ID needed

I found this coin yesterday- a little larger than a US dime - looks like silver but not sure, has some weight to it. Any info ? Thanks, steve in so az

Definitely from Saudi Arabia, I believe it's a 5 halala coin. Not sure what year... my Saudi isn't what it used to be...

$3.75 = 1 Riyal
1 Saudi riyal = 20 qursh = 100 halala ... So, I wouldn't rush to cash that one in :lol

Any guess as to why? You near a military base?

not only the university of Az with 32 K students from all over - but we have a huge air base also. No doubt they come in that way, Steve
