| Obverse description | Central design features the national emblem of Oman — two crossed khanjar daggers overlaid on crossed swords — rendered in high relief against a mirror-finished field. The Arabic legend سلطنة عمان (Sultanate of Oman) arcs across the upper inner field, while the denomination 10 RIALS in Latin script appears to the left and ١٠ ريالات in Arabic numerals to the right of the emblem. The outer legend reads CENTRAL BANK OF OMAN along the lower arc and البنك المركزي العماني along the upper arc, separated by ornamental stops. The design is executed in the cameo proof style with frosted devices contrasting against the polished background. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 25th National Day of Oman on November 18, 1995 — the anniversary of Sultan Qaboos bin Said's accession following the palace coup that deposed his father, Said bin Taimur, in July 1970. Qaboos took power in a country with fewer than ten kilometers of paved road and transformed it into a modern state within a single generation, a process the Omani government branded *al-Nahda*, the Renaissance. These commemorative gold issues from the Central Bank were produced in strictly limited quantities for presentation and collector purposes.
