| Obverse description | At center, the national emblem of the Sultanate of Oman: a khanjar (curved dagger) in its sheath superimposed upon two crossed swords, rendered in color. The emblem is set within a circular field surrounded by concentric decorative bands in the colors of the Omani flag — red, white, and green — with an ornate geometric border pattern in gold. The Latin legend ONE RIAL SULTANATE OF OMAN CENTRAL BANK OF OMAN appears around the periphery. |

| Additional information |
The 29th Gulf Cooperation Council Supreme Council Summit was hosted by Oman in Muscat in December 2008 — a meeting overshadowed by the global financial crisis then unfolding, with oil revenues collapsing and GCC member states scrambling to coordinate economic responses. Commemorative issues tied to GCC summits have been a consistent tradition among member mints since the Council's founding in 1981, though Oman's output in this series has been notably conservative in mintage compared to Saudi or UAE equivalents.
