| Obverse description | The obverse bears the Omani national emblem centered in the field: a khanjar (traditional curved dagger) within its sheath superimposed upon two crossed swords, rendered in relief. This design derives from the obverse die of KM#23. The emblem is presented without a surrounding legend, occupying the full available field of the square flan with rounded corners. |
