Asia here is only referred to Southern Asia and the rest of Western (Middle East) and Central Asia. I have separated SouthEast Asia and East Asia with different links here.


many of the banknotes posted here do not need descriptions. the designs are beautiful enough for me to add any more details - a picture is worth a thousand words

.Saudi Arabia - 20 & 200 Riyals 1999 Commemorative Centennial of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

These are the two notes issued to commemorate the 100th year of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issued on 23/01/1999 (Islamic calendar 05/10/1419). 

In January 1902, Abdul Aziz (later known as Ibn Saud), son of Abdul Rahman, captured Riyadh, thus creating the third Saudi State. However according to the lunar calendar which Saudi Arabia follows, the centenary of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia was in 1999, and as such these two notes were released.
