| Additional information |
Issued in the years immediately following the 1970 coup in which Qaboos bin Said deposed his own father, Sultan Said bin Taimur, these coins belong to the first coinage series to carry the new ruler's name. Said bin Taimur had kept Oman in deliberate isolation — no public schools, no roads, no modern infrastructure — and the new coinage was among the earliest signals of Qaboos's systematic opening of the country. The series ran only until 1975, when currency reforms rendered it obsolete.
