This 40 Para and the following 20 Para were issues of the Ottoman Empire which dissolved after WWI. Hejaz was a vilayet that was in revolt against Turkish control. Husain Ibn Ali, the Amir of Mecca wrested control of the Hejaz away from the Ottoman Turks in 1916 with the help of Lawrence of Arabia. By 1925, however, Abd Al-Aziz Bin Sa'ud, the uniter of Saudi Arabia had taken control of the area. By 1932/33 Saudi Arabia was united into a single kingdom.
These coins of AH 1327 (1909 A.D.; both host and C/M dates#, were countermarked to obscure the signature #toughra) of the Ottoman Sultan Huhammed V, whom the rebels detested. The countermark on both coins says "al-Hejaz" in Arabic. The countermarks on these Para coins of the Ottoman Turks are probably the only legitimate ones available. Other countermarks on silver coins or other types of host coins are usually considered spurious, although they are actively collected.
