HEJAZ: al-Husayn b. 'Ali, 1916-1924, AE 1/4 piastre, Makka al-Mukarrama (Mecca), AH1334 year 5 recut over 6, KM-22, traces of silver-wash, one of the finest known, only one graded higher by NGC, NGC graded MS62 BN. This type is sometimes regarded as year 6, but the weakness of the "6" seems to confirm that it was incorrectly engraved with "6" and corrected with "5." As for the silver-wash, most examples in the highest grades reveal that the wash was usually very weak, almost barely noticeable.
