A 30mm cupro-nickel Hejaz Railway Medal pf Abdul Hamid II, dated AH1318/1900 AD, Rev: Toughra ad Locomotive in wreath, Obv: Arabic inscription, pierced at top as usual. Awarded to those who donated to the new Hezaj railway in 1900, planned to extend to the holy cities of Medina and Mecca. The line was never completed to Mecca, however, due initially to Arab rebel activity, and later continued opposition during World War I. A pleasant VF example, and the first we've handled in more than 30 yeasrs of dealing.
