5ar5ashu Jyobkum!!!



The central bank of Oman issues a new banknote of RO1 due to the 35th national day. I think its wicked.

Front:
l Portrait of His Majesty Sultan Qaboos
l Facsimile signature of His Majesty the Sultan
l Watermark portrait of His Majesty the Sultan
l The National Emblem (2 Swords and a Khanjar) in the middle of the notes
l ‘Central Bank of Oman’ in Arabic on top of the note.
l Serial numbers on right and left side of the note.
l Denomination in figure on right and left sides and in words in the middle of the note.
l ‘The 35th National Day’ and year of issue: 1426 H and 2005G in Arabic at the bottom of the note.
l Omani adornment in gold behind the portrait of His Majesty the Sultan
l Recognition feature for the blind on the left side.
l Vertical security thread
l An Omani incense burner on the bottom centre.

Reverse:
l ‘Central Bank of Oman’ in English at the topside of the note.
l Denomination in words in English at left bottom and in figures at the right.
l 35th National Day logo
l 35th National Day commemorative text in English with year of issue 1426H / 2005G
l Flagship ‘Shabab Oman
l Fort Jalali at bottom right
l Minaret of a mosque in the centre.
l Traditional Omani jewellery in the bottom centre.

ma adreee i feel like its soo much! there is too much happening. rabshaaa a7eesoo. it needs to be toned down shiwa.. or maybe cause its just something new and will need time for us to get used to it.
are there going to limited number of prints of this verison? or will this be the new rail? i liked the previous more purple rocks! now how would i be able to tell the 5 rail note apart from this?

when i was in uae last week.. i gave my cousin my wallet to buy credits.. instead of givin him a 50dhs note, he gave him a 500dhs note. all he got back was 25drhs..

I almost killed him but then i remembered i need company in that country..

i seriously don't know if i like it or not. when i see both notes in my hand, i'll decide.
