| Aanvullende informatie |
Dhofar was not an independent state but a sultanate-within-a-sultanate — a semi-autonomous province ruled by Said bin Taimur before he seized power in Muscat and Oman in 1932. These Dhofari issues were struck for local circulation in a region geographically and culturally distinct from the rest of Oman, separated by hundreds of miles of empty desert. The coinage was effectively a political instrument, reinforcing Said's authority over a province his own father had struggled to hold.
Production was handled by the Bombay Mint, the default facility for Gulf and South Asian subsidiary coinages of the period.
