Omani Banknote. 1995 Series

The rial is the currency of Oman. It is divided into 1000 baisa (also written baiza, بيسة).

On 7 May 1970, the Sultanate of Muscat and Oman issued banknotes in denominations of 100 baisa, ​1⁄4, ​1⁄2, 1, 5 and 10 rial saidi. These were followed by notes for 100 baisa, ​1⁄4, ​1⁄2, 1, 5 and 10 Omani rials issued by the Oman Currency Board on 18 November 1972. From 1977, the Central Bank of Oman has issued notes, with 20 and 50 rial notes introduced that, followed by 200 baisa notes in 1985. A new series of notes was issued in 1995, and the 5-rial notes and higher were updated in 2000.
