| Obverse description | Within the square flan with rounded corners, the national emblem of Muscat and Oman occupies the central field, depicting two crossed khanjar daggers superimposed upon two crossed swords in a symmetrical arrangement. The Arabic legend 'عشرون بيزه' (Twenty Baiza) arcs across the upper field flanking the emblem, while the Arabic numeral '٢٠' appears in the lower field beneath it. A raised rim frames the entire composition, accentuating the distinctive square format of the flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a two-line Arabic inscription within the square field with rounded corners, reading 'سلطان مسقط وعمان' (Sultan of Muscat and Oman) on the upper line and 'سعيد بن تيمور' (Said bin Taimur) on the lower line, the whole arching across the upper portion of the field. The Hijri date '١٣٦٥' (1365 AH, corresponding to 1946 AD) is inscribed in the lower field beneath the legend. A plain raised rim encloses the design, consistent with the square-with-rounded-corners flan format used throughout this series. |
