The Oman Currency Board was itself a transitional institution — established in 1972 to replace the Muscat Currency Authority and dissolved in 1974 when the Central Bank of Oman took over. This note falls squarely in that two-year window, making the issuing body one of the shortest-lived monetary authorities in Gulf history.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility had long been the preferred printer for newly independent and reorganizing states across the Middle East and Africa. Their intaglio work on this series is notably fine for the period.
