The 100 Baisa sits at the fractional end of Oman's decimal system, introduced after the 1970 currency reform that replaced the Gulf rupee and the old Maria Theresa thaler-based accounting with a clean 1000-baisa rial. This particular issue is the second series, introduced under Sultan Qaboos's aggressive modernization program and printed by Giesecke & Devrient in Leipzig — the firm's eastern German plant, which came fully back into the international market following reunification in 1990.
The 100 Baisa was discontinued as a banknote denomination in subsequent series, replaced in practice by coinage.
