Fujairah 5 riyals Munchen Summer Olympic Games proof silver coin 1970

This striking 5 Riyals silver proof coin from the State of Fujairah, issued in 1970, commemorates the Munich 1972 Summer Olympic Games—one of the most iconic international sporting events of the 20th century. Crafted in refined Proof quality, the coin displays brilliant mirrored fields contrasted with frosted relief elements, enhancing the precision and depth of its intricate design.

The obverse presents a rich Olympic composition centered around the five interlocking rings, overlaid with the bold inscription “MUNCHEN 1972.” Above the rings rises a stylized Olympic torch with a sweeping flame, accompanied by the word “OLYMPIA.” A detailed architectural skyline featuring towers and domes stretches across the upper section, symbolizing the host city. Within the rings, a dynamic athlete figure in motion and a heraldic shield add symbolic and visual balance, while Arabic inscriptions and ornamental details frame the lower edge.

The reverse features the coat of arms of Fujairah: a large central shield containing crossed flags and crossed rifles, surrounded by inscriptions “State of Fujairah,” the denomination “5 Riyals,” and the date 1970, all enclosed within a decorative beaded border.

A beautiful blend of Olympic heritage and regional symbolism, this coin is an excellent addition to any collection focused on sports history or world numismatics.
