| Additional information |
Oman's annual National Day coinage program, administered directly by the Central Bank, has produced commemorative silver issues nearly every year since the early 1970s — each tied to a specific theme chosen to reflect the sultanate's natural or cultural heritage. The Yellow-vented Bulbul, native to the Arabian Peninsula's coastal and cultivated zones, was selected for the 39th National Day falling on November 18, 2009, marking thirty-nine years since Sultan Qaboos bin Said deposed his father in the 1970 palace coup and initiated Oman's rapid modernization.
Mintage figures for this series are typically kept low, issued primarily for collectors rather than circulation.
