Interesting fact

The 1 Rial - Qaboos (Nizwa Fort) 1416 (1995) coin from Oman is unique because it features a portrait of Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the former ruler of Oman, on one side, and an image of the Nizwa Fort, a historic fortification in Oman, on the other. This coin is made of silver (.925) and weighs 28.28 grams. It is considered a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and numismatists.
