The Sultanate of Muscat and Oman issued this series under Said bin Taimur, the isolationist sultan who restricted roads, schools, and hospitals and famously prohibited Omanis from wearing glasses or using radios without permission. His son Qaboos overthrew him in a palace coup in July 1970 — the same year this note was issued — and promptly renamed the country the Sultanate of Oman. Notes from this series therefore carry a state name that effectively ceased to exist within months of their printing.
Bradbury Wilkinson produced currency for dozens of colonial and post-colonial governments from their New Malden works; their intaglio printing is consistent across the series.
