I wonder how many hands have passed through these bonds? And how many pilgrims carried them in a bygone era, before the pages of their days were turned and their papers remained as witnesses to them? Five Hajj bonds of the five riyal denomination, dating back to the era of King Abdulaziz and King Saud, may God have mercy on them; papers that witnessed a time different from ours, and perhaps passed through hands that are no longer among us, carrying tales we will never know. These bonds came to facilitate the affairs of pilgrims and ease their monetary transactions. They served as cash receipts that the pilgrim could keep and then exchange for their equivalent in cash, according to the regulations in effect at the time, to be a support for them on their journey to the Holy Land. Perhaps the most beautiful thing about collecting history is that you don't just own a piece of paper, but you hold onto a piece of a time that will not return. And perhaps they have a place with one of you that befits their story. Price: 550 riyals Serious buyers contact via private message.
