Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to support the Save the Children Fund, a non-profit organization that aims to promote children's rights and provide aid to children in need around the world. The coin's design features a crowned effigy of Sultan Qaboos bin Said Al Said, the former ruler of Oman, on one side, and an image of a child and the logo of the Save the Children Fund on the other. The coin's silver content and limited mintage make it a valuable collector's item, and its connection to a worthy cause adds to its appeal.
