Oman currency 100 Baiza note 1970 Sultanate of Muscat and Oman
Muscat Currency Authority
The first issue of Omani notes immediately strikes one as incredibly ornate, with the obverse of each note covered with fine interwoven lines, arabesques, and patterned backgrounds. The dominant feature of each note is the "Khanjar" (the crossed scimitars and gambia, which is the emblem of the Sultanate) that appears in a white area to the right of the notes and is repeated in the watermark to the left.
The reverse of the 100 baisa note carries a geometric design.
Signature: C. J. Pelly (Secretary for Financial Affairs).
