This item actually appeared on eBay mixed in with a small collection of Survey of Egypt imperforate stamps.  Note the impression of a paper clip and a pinhole at left, indicating that this example had been attached to a document and either sent for information, comment or approval.

The essay is the same design as figure 23 in the Survey of Egypt book but printed in magenta.

The manuscript on the back reads:

Hidjaz Post

Mecca the Blessed

One piastre
