The ahmadi 1/8 riyal was first struck on a round flan dated AH1367 (Y-14a, only 2 known, cf. Zeno-114362), followed by the common pentagonal type, struck 1367-1380, with an exception of this hexagonal version, struck only in 1368 (12 pieces now filed on Zeno, apparently all struck from the same pair of dies).
