Once considered a global trade coin, the Maria Theresa thaler found its way to the Arab world, including Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Muscat and Oman, as well as Ethiopia and India. Its reputation grew so much that it became known as the "Alriyal Alfransi," the French Riyal, due to its resemblance to the Spanish eight-real coin.
