There are serval issues concerning the name change of the Issuing authority of Saudi currency from the Saudi Arabia Monetary Authority to the Saudi Central Bank.
Should new pages be created for banknotes issued under the authority’s new name, even if they remain the same Pick Number? Or should they be added to the existing pages as new years of issue?
There are currently three denominations that have appeared in circulation with the new name of SAUDI CENTRAL BANK in addition to a new Bank Governor‘s signature on the obverse:
- 200 Riyals (Vision 2030 Commemorative) (2021) (P-45a)
- 100 Riyals (2021) (P-41c)
- 50 Riyals (2021) (P-40c)
All remaining denominations are expected to make the switch.
Right now the new 100 Saudi Riyals (2021) can be added in two sections:
- on the original page:N#216672
2020 is listed incorrectly as an issuing year on this page:
- In a new page
Either this^ page should be deleted and the “2020” year section in the original page also deleted OR “2020” and 2021 should be removed entirely from that original page. There is no 100 Saudi Riyals note dated 2020, only 2016, 2017 and 2021.

Pick # 41a is 2016
Pick # 41b is 2017
Pick # 41c is 2021
Another issue is there is no “Saudi Central Bank” listed in the issuing bank, maybe an admin can change “Unknown“ to Saudi Central Bank?
I have added 2021 to the issued years of the 50 & 100 Riyals page in addition to adding “Does not exist to the “2020” year comments as I think this the right approach since the Pick Number and overall design + material of the notes haven‘t change:
