| Reverse description | A radiating sunburst design emanates from the central field, creating a dynamic geometric background across which a series of vignettes representing Omani cultural heritage are arranged: a traditional dhow under sail at left, a fortified castle or watchtower at upper right, a seated craftsman at centre, and further architectural and cultural motifs. Two olive or laurel branches flank the composition. An Arabic legend at the lower centre reads 'Year of Heritage,' while a lower cartouche bears the bilingual inscription 'YEAR OF HERITAGE / SULTANATE OF OMAN' in Latin characters, with the dual date '1994 - 1414h' below. |
