  KING GEORGE VS. ST GEORGE
  

  Last week I quoted an article about the history of Saudi coinage:
  "Another popular currency was the Golden pound, which weighed 8 grams.
  It was commonly referred to as "Abu Khayyal" (the knight) as it
  pictured King George V."
  

  Martin Purdy writes: "I'm sure this should refer to St. George on
  the reverse of the sovereigns rather than the not very knightly-looking
  portrait of George V on the obverse!"
