The 2000 issue marked a significant update to Oman's third banknote series, introduced as the country approached its thirtieth National Day — a politically freighted timing that influenced design choices across the denomination range. Thomas De La Rue has held the Omani printing contract continuously for decades, an unusually long single-supplier relationship among Gulf states.
Pick 40 is sometimes confused with the later polymer-adjacent upgrades to the series; this note remains cotton paper throughout, with security limited to watermarking by modern standards — a relatively light feature profile for a high-value denomination issued at this date.
