Help with Arabic coins made into cufflinks

[silverdollarbill]

Bought these cufflinks from a thrift store for $2. The cufflink part tests as silver. Not able to test coins.

Curious if anyone knows country/date for these coins. They are about the size of nickels.

Initial thought: Riyal coin from Saudi Arabia.

1/4 Riyal (1950s) as shown in top coin here: Saudi Arabia coins 1954-1963 under King Saud rule

Thanks Don for taking up the challenge. Uncovering an antique’s origins is definitely not an easy feat. However, with pure determination and passion then nothing is impossible. It is always an exciting thing to know where a certain piece of gem comes from which enables us to learn a bit of history too while at it.
