History reference:
The Omani rial is the national currency of the Sultanate of Oman, which has been in circulation on the territory of the state since 1974. The currency is issued by the Central Bank of Oman. In the 19...th century, the Indian rupee and the Maria Theresa thaler were used in monetary circulation. Since 1940, minting of coins in baizes has begun, and since 1948 - in rials. Rials and coins were minted in two types - Saidi rial and Dofari rial. On May 11, 1959, the Reserve Bank and the Government of India began issuing special banknotes - Persian Gulf rupees, which were not legal tender in India, while the rial and thaler continued to be used in circulation. Since June 1966, as a result of the devaluation of the rupee of the Persian Gulf, the Maria Theresa thaler remained in circulation. On May 7, 1970, the said rial, equivalent to the pound sterling, was declared the only legal currency in Oman.
