MUSCAT AND OMAN. Pair of Saidi Rials (2 Pieces), AH 1738 (1959). Both PCGS Gold Shield Certified.
A neat pair of low mintage modern issues from the Arabian Peninsula. Both exhibit hard flashy surfaces with frosted cameo devices. Light, nearly transparent mottled tone is noted on the silver issue, while the gold issue displays a light haze in the centers. Otherwise an attractive pair of classic modern Middle Eastern rarities.
