Exchange rates can be displayed in different ways depending on the context. There's the Omani rial to pound exchange rate, and the Omani rial buyback rate. The two are in fact the same; they are just displayed differently.
The Omani rial to pound exchange rate corresponds to the value of one Omani rial in British pounds. For example, a Omani rial to pound rate of 2.0833 means one Omani rial is worth 2.0833 pounds.
In contrast, the Omani rial buyback rate corresponds to the amount of Omani rials you'd have to exchange to get one pound. For example, a Omani rial buyback rate of 0.48 means you'd have to exchange 0.48 Omani rials to get one pound.
UK currency suppliers prefer to show the Omani rial buyback rate instead of the Omani rial to pound exchange rate, so we follow the same format in our Omani rial comparisons. However, on this page, we use the Omani rial to pound exchange rate since this is what the data is intended to show.
The two rates are interchangeable: to convert the Omani rial buyback rate into the actual Omani rial to pound rate, just divide 1 by the Omani rial buyback rate, e.g.: 1 / 0.48 = 2.0833.
