10 Baisa - Said

Said bin Taimur, the Sultan whose name this coin bears, was deposed by his own son Qaboos in a palace coup on July 23, 1970 — just months after this issue entered circulation. Qaboos immediately rebranded the state as the Sultanate of Oman and launched a new coinage series, rendering Said-era pieces obsolete almost upon release.

The brevity of circulation gives survivors an unusually clean appearance relative to their nominal grade.
