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.

The currency, named after Christopher Columbus or, in the Spanish manner, Cristobal Colon, came out with a content of 0.7002 grams of pure gold in October 1896. The colon replaced the Costa Rican pes...o and was parity with the US dollar at 2.15:1. The Costa Rican colón was adopted as the national currency in 1896, about 70 years after Costa Rica and its Central American neighbors declared independence from Spain. Colón replaced the Costa Rican peso with a one-to-one exchange rate. The former currency of the peso, a legacy of the colonial era, was divided into eight Spanish reais.
