| Obverse description | Central field features the Omani state emblem consisting of a jambiya dagger superimposed over two crossed khanjars (curved swords), rendered in relief against a plain field. The denomination legend '١٠ بيسة' (10 Baisa) appears twice, flanking the emblem to the left and right. The toponym 'ظفار' (Dhofar) is inscribed in Arabic script above the emblem, while the Hijri date '١٣٥٩' (1359 AH / 1940 AD) is placed in the lower exergue. |

| Reverse description | The entire reverse field is occupied by a four-line Arabic inscription in a calligraphic script, reading: 'الواثق بالله / سعيد بن تيمور / سلطان مسقط / وعمان' (Confident in God / Said bin Taimur / Sultan of Muscat / and Oman). The text is centrally positioned and fills the coin's field, with no subsidiary decorative elements. The lettering is executed in a bold, legible Arabic hand typical of early twentieth-century Gulf coinage. |
