Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The history of money in Oman covers a period of almost 2300 years. Most of the currency displayed here was made elsewhere but found its way to Oman through trade and exchange. Many of the coins were part of hoards hidden hundreds of years ago and never recovered by their original owners.
The Macedonians were the first to introduce currency into the Oman Peninsula back in the 4th century BCE. The earliest coins displayed here were minted in Oman during the Late Iron Age before the arrival of Islam. The most recent items relate to digital transactions and pose questions about the future of physical money. |
