1 Rial - Qaboos National Crafts, Metal Industries

Issued as part of Oman's long-running commemorative program under Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who ruled from 1970 until his death in January 2020. Qaboos transformed Oman from a largely isolated, underdeveloped state into a modernized nation over five decades, and the commemorative coin series bearing his name consistently documented that transition — industries, crafts, and infrastructure that either survived modernization or were deliberately preserved through it.

KM#182 is a proof issue with a relatively limited collector distribution, produced by the Central Bank under licensing arrangements typical of Gulf state commemoratives of this period.
