This new commemorative note was released on 09.01.2012 to celebrate the country's 40th National Day celebration. The National Day is celebrated on the 18th of November. Not sure why this note was not released together with the 20 Rials commemorative note which was issued in November 2010.
As per current Omani rials in circulation, this note carries the portrait of the Sultan of Oman, Sultan Qaboos bin Said, and is also signed by His Majesty as well. Included in the design are the National Emblem (coat of arms) at the center of the note and the wording “40th National day” and Year of issue in Arabic: 1431 AH and 2010 at the bottom of the note. The building in the background is the Central Bank of Oman.
On the back of the note, it carries the name of CBO and denomination in English. The design on the back features mainly the Ministry of Trade and Industry building, National Emblem (coat of arms) and also the National Day Logo for this very special occasion.
This is the third commemorating note ever issued by the Central Bank of Oman.
