The Rial Saidi was a short-lived currency by any measure. Introduced in 1959 to replace the Maria Theresa Thaler as the formal monetary unit of Muscat and Oman, it survived barely over a decade before Sultan Qaboos — having deposed his father Said bin Taimur in July 1970 — renamed both the country and its currency. The Rial Omani replaced it that same year, rendering all Saidi issues obsolete almost immediately after this note was printed.
Bradbury Wilkinson handled the full Saidi series. This 1970 date places the note at the very end of the issue's useful life, likely printed to meet demand that the political transition then made redundant.
