| Beschrijving keerzijde | The large Arabic numeral '٣' (3) dominates the centre of the field, with the denomination legend 'بيسة' (baisa) inscribed above. Two miniature national arms — each comprising crossed khanjar daggers and swords — flank the numeral at left and right. The Hijri date '١٣٨٠' (1380) is inscribed below the numeral, and the mint name 'مسقط' (Muscat) appears along the lower arc within a denticulated border. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Said bin Taimur's Muscat and Oman operated one of the most deliberately closed economies of the twentieth century. The Sultan actively resisted modernization, banned imports of eyeglasses, books, and radios, and kept the currency system intentionally archaic — the baisa denominations were struck in limited quantities for a population he worked hard to keep isolated from outside commerce. This 1961 issue was produced at the Royal Mint in London, as Oman had no domestic minting capability.
