Old banknotes and milestones in Omani notability
Prior to the introduction of the Omani rial in 1970, Oman used the Saidi rial, first issued in 1940. These old banknotes are now highly prized collector's items. An important milestone in Omani notafilia was the issuance of the first 50 rial bill in 1985, which marked a turning point in the country's economy. In addition, in 1995, Oman introduced banknotes commemorating the 25th anniversary of the National Day, highlighting the importance of currency as a symbol of national identity and economic progress.
