200 Ryals - Ghalib

Ghalib bin Ali al-Hinai was the last Imam of Oman, deposed in 1959 when Sultan Said bin Taimur's forces retook the interior in what became known as the Jebel Akhdar War. He spent years afterward in exile lobbying Arab states and the Arab League for restoration, and this 1971 issue was struck as a political artifact of that campaign — a coin asserting a sovereignty that had already been militarily extinguished for over a decade.

Issues of this type were never circulated and exist solely as assertions of legitimacy. The Fr#2 reference places it firmly in the exile coinage category recognized by Friedberg.
