Ahmed bin Said Al Busaidi (1783-1694) - 50 baisa
Ahmed bin Said Al Busaidi is remembered as the founder of the Al Busaidi dynasty, a ruling house that emerged during a period of political division and external pressure in Oman. After helping expel foreign forces from important coastal areas, Ahmed bin Said consolidated authority across much of the country and laid the foundations for a more stable Omani state.
The establishment of the Al Busaidi dynasty marked a turning point in Omani history. The dynasty went on to guide Oman through major political, commercial, and maritime developments, and it remains the country's ruling family. Ahmed bin Said's leadership is widely associated with the restoration of national unity and the revival of Oman's regional influence.
