Ajman 7 1/2 riyals Wildlife Bonefish MS68 PCGS silver coin 1970

The Ajman 7 1/2 Riyals silver coin of 1970 is a remarkable issue combining natural symbolism and national pride. The reverse features a finely detailed Bonefish, an important species for coastal life and a symbol of sustenance, surrounded by inscriptions in Arabic and English: Government of Ajman & Its Deps along with the denomination 7 1/2 Riyals. Its lifelike depiction emphasizes Ajman’s connection to the sea and the importance of marine wildlife. On the obverse, the coin presents crossed national flags, a pair of traditional Arabian daggers, and the portrait of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the ruler of Ajman who guided the emirate for over five decades. This composition blends sovereignty, leadership, and cultural traditions with natural heritage. Struck in silver and graded MS68 by PCGS, the coin retains sharp details and pristine luster, making it an exceptional survivor of its limited mintage. Issued within Ajman’s early commemorative program, this piece reflects both numismatic artistry and regional identity, appealing to collectors of wildlife and Middle Eastern history.
