Fujairah 5 riyals Munich Munchen 1972 Olympic Games PF66 NGC silver coin 1969

This remarkable 5 Riyals silver proof coin from the State of Fujairah, dated AH1388 / 1969, commemorates the Munich 1972 Summer Olympic Games—an enduring symbol of international unity and athletic excellence. Struck in Proof quality and certified NGC PF66 Ultra Cameo, the coin displays strong contrast between deep mirrored fields and frosted design elements, highlighting its intricate artistry.

The obverse features a rich Olympic composition centered on the five interlocking rings, overlaid with the bold inscription “MUNCHEN 1972.” Above, a stylized Olympic torch with a sweeping flame rises beside the word “OLYMPIA,” while a finely detailed skyline of towers and domes stretches across the upper edge. Within the rings, a dynamic athlete figure in motion and a heraldic shield add visual balance and symbolism. Arabic inscriptions and ornamental elements frame the lower rim, enhancing the cultural character of the piece.

The reverse presents the coat of arms of Fujairah: a large central shield with crossed flags and crossed rifles, accompanied by inscriptions “State of Fujairah,” the denomination “5 Riyals,” and the date in both Gregorian and Hijri formats, all enclosed within a beaded border.

A striking fusion of Olympic heritage and Middle Eastern design, this certified coin is a valuable addition to any world or sports-themed collection.
