The widely different numbers implies a completely different design, nothing like KM# 83. The descriptions for both KM# 83 and KM# 97 are wrong in describing the arms as "crowned arms", since there is clearly no crown in the design of your coin; "crowned" was accidentally copied over from the description of KM# 81, which does include a crown in the design. I suspect the description "three children playing" for KM# 97 is a similar copy-and-paste error. But, since there is no picture of it anywhere on the 'net, I do not know what is actually on KM# 97. Secondly, "for presentation purposes" implies it was intended to be formally presented as a gift to dignitaries or members of the Omani royal family. It should therefore be in a fancy box of some kind, not a cardboard wrapper. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
