Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique beaded central circle design, which was a distinctive feature of coins issued during the reign of Sultan Faisal bin Turki (1888-1913) in Muscat and Oman. This design element was used to prevent counterfeiting and to distinguish the genuine coins from fake ones.
