Local currencies are valued based on their equivalent in gold or silver to determine the nisab. If the currency reaches the nisab according to either of them, then Zakat becomes obligatory; otherwise, it does not. Given that the current price of one gram of silver is 2.5 Saudi Riyals, the nisab for the Saudi Riyal is 1487.5 Riyals.
