When the Turks were thrown out Husein ibn Ali, soon to be King of Hejaz in Mecca, ordered the existing coins to be counterstamped "al-Hijaz" over the tughra of the Sultan, thus effacing the symbol of centuries of Ottoman domination. em>. Hussein bin Ali, GCB (1854 - 4 June 1931) was the Sharif and Emir of Mecca from 1908 until 1917, when he proclaimed himself and was internationally recognized as King of the Kingdom of Hejaz. He initiated the Arab Revolt in 1916 against the increasingly nationalistic Ottoman Empire during the course of the First World War. In 1924, when the Ottoman Caliphate was abolished, he further proclaimed himself Caliph of all Muslims. He ruled Hejaz until 1924, when, defeated by Abdul Aziz al Saud, he abdicated the kingdom and other secular titles to his eldest son Ali.
