| Obverse description | Central field features the national emblem of Oman comprising two crossed khanjar daggers overlaid with a curved sword (saif), all rendered in fine relief. The emblem is enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The Arabic legend reading 'Qabus bin Sa'id Sultan of Oman' arcs above and below the central device in elegant Naskh script. The outer border is adorned with a decorative chain-link motif interspersed with stylized palm frond ornaments at regular intervals, lending the design a distinctly regal and formal character. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination '1/2' in large bold Arabic-Indic numerals at the centre of the field, flanked by two five-pointed stars. The Arabic legend 'Half Omani Rial' arcs across the upper portion of the field, with the Hijri date in Arabic-Indic numerals appearing below the fraction. The inscription 'Sultanate of Oman' in Arabic script curves along the lower exergue. The design is framed by a beaded border consistent with the obverse, with the overall layout presenting a clean, uncluttered compositional style appropriate to a prestige gold issue. |
