| Reverse description | A radiant, symmetrical commemorative design fills the field, featuring diverging sunburst rays emanating from a central focal point around which various symbolic motifs are arranged, evoking themes of youth, achievement, and national progress. A garland of stylised circular emblems forms an arc around the central composition. Flanking laurel branches appear at the lower portion of the design. The bilingual legend in the lower field reads 'عام الشباب' (Year of Youth) in Arabic and 'YEAR OF YOUTH' in Latin script, with both the Hijri date '١٤١٣ هـ' and the Gregorian date '١٩٩٣ مـ / 1413-1993' inscribed below. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark Oman's National Youth Year, this gold piece was produced in limited quantities by the Central Bank of Oman as part of a broader commemorative program that expanded significantly under Sultan Qaboos following the country's oil-funded modernization drive of the 1970s and 1980s. Qaboos used coinage of this type deliberately — as instruments of policy messaging directed at a young population he was investing heavily in through new universities, technical colleges, and sports infrastructure.
The .9166 fineness is standard 22-karat gold, the same alloy used across the Omani commemorative series of this period.
