| Obverse description | The national emblem of Oman occupies the central field, depicting a khanjar (curved dagger) within its sheath superimposed upon two crossed swords, all rendered in high relief against a proof-quality mirrored background. The emblem is the traditional symbol of Omani sovereignty and identity. Inscriptions in Arabic appear above and below the central device, with the denomination and issuer details completing the legend. |

| Reverse description | A polychrome (multi-color) effigy of an Arabian tahr (ibex) is depicted standing to the left upon a rocky outcrop, rendered in naturalistic detail with applied color highlights over a proof-finish field. Above the central device, the Arabic legends read 'مرعة البيئة' (Environment Collection) and 'الوعل' (Ibex), with the date '٢٠٠٢م' inscribed to the left in Arabic numerals. Along the lower border, the Latin inscription 'IBEX' appears beneath the animal, and the circumferential legend reads 'ENVIRONMENT COLLECTION 2002'. The design celebrates Oman's native wildlife as part of the Sultan Qaboos Environment Collection series. |
