Hisham Al-Najjar 45 years old was keen on the collection of coins from inside and outside the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and buying some of them from auctions of antiques and rare coins, to form a safe-box of local and foreign currencies of which he invested later in drawing paintings in a professional manner in the form of murals, initiated by drawing the kings of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
