This specimen was lot 1706 in Stephen Album sale 37 (Santa Rosa, CA, June 2020), where it did not sell. The catalog description[1] noted, "MUSCAT & OMAN: Sa'ud b. Taimur, 1932-1970, 20 baisa, AH1365, Bombay mint proof restrike, PCGS graded Proof 63." This one year type was accompanied by copper-nickel five baisa (KM 26) and two baisa (KM 25), all struck at Bombay. While the Bombay mint was producing the restrikes, a few mules of the obverse of KM 23 and the reverse of KM 27 were emitted, perhaps not accidentally.
Recorded mintage: 1,135,000 plus restrikes.
Specification: copper-nickel.
Catalog reference: KM-27.
