Oman - This is the first reprint of the 2010 50 rials Hybrid commemorative (Oman 40th National Day celebration) hybrid note. This note was issued in 2019 with some changes to the first print designs. Whilst the 2010 was a commemorative note, this reprint, in my opinion, should not be. However, in view of the commemorative text still printed on the note, I have also posted this note to my Commemorative site too. The 50 rials denomination is still the largest denomination issued in Oman. With a new Sultan installed in early January 2020 following the passing of Sultan Qaboos (b.1940-2020), any new issues is expected to have a portrait of the new Sultan on the note. Perhaps we might even see a new 1 rial banknote next year celebrating the first anniversary of the new Sultan or another 50 rials celebrating Oman's 50th National Day (1970-2020) or even both.
