Interesting fact

The ½ Rial coin from Oman, minted in 1980, was the first coin in the country to feature the national emblem of Oman, which includes a khanjar (a traditional Omani dagger) and two guns. This emblem was introduced as a symbol of the country's rich history and culture, and it has been featured on many Omani coins and banknotes since then.
