The Omani Rial (also Rial Omani , plural: Rials; Arabic ريال عماني, DMG Riyāl ʿUmānī ) is the currency of the Sultanate of Oman . One rial is in 1000 Baisa (بيسة), also written Baiza (abbreviation: Bz. ), divided.
The name Rial is derived from the Spanish real , which was the currency in Spain for several centuries (derived from the Spanish word rey = king).
The Omani Rial is currently available in the following denominations:
- Banknotes have values of 100 and 200 Baisa as well as ½, 1, 5, 10, 20 and 50 rials.
- Coins come in values of 5, 10, 25 and 50 Baisa.
There are currently efforts to replace the rial with a common currency of the Gulf states .
In the 1980s, coins of 100 baisas, ¼ rials and ½ rials were issued.
