A coin with some micro scratches, a capsule (please, check photos).
This elegant 5 Riyals silver proof coin from the State of Fujairah, issued in 1970, celebrates the Munich 1972 Summer Olympic Games—an international symbol of athletic excellence and global unity. Struck in brilliant Proof quality, the coin showcases a refined contrast between mirrored surfaces and frosted relief, enhancing every intricate detail of its design.
The obverse is richly composed with Olympic symbolism: the five interlocking rings dominate the center, overlaid by the bold inscription “MUNCHEN 1972.” Above, a stylized Olympic torch with flowing flame rises beside the word “OLYMPIA,” while a detailed architectural skyline of towers and domes stretches along the upper edge. Within the rings, a dynamic running athlete figure appears alongside a heraldic shield, while Arabic inscriptions and ornamental flourishes frame the lower rim.
The reverse features the coat of arms of Fujairah: a large central shield with crossed flags and crossed rifles, flanked by decorative patterns. Surrounding inscriptions include “State of Fujairah,” the denomination “5 Riyals,” and the date 1970, all enclosed within a beaded border.
A compelling fusion of Olympic heritage and Middle Eastern numismatic artistry, this coin is a desirable collectible for both sports and world coin enthusiasts.
