    The Ajman 7½ Riyals silver coin of 1970 is a rare and captivating issue from the Trucial States era, uniting political portraiture with a focus on endangered wildlife. On the obverse, the design presents crossed national flags and a pair of traditional Arabian daggers (khanjars), with a detailed portrait of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, the ruler of Ajman, at the bottom. The inscriptions in Arabic and English confirm its official origin as a coin of the Ajman government.

    The reverse side emphasizes the fauna theme with a beautifully engraved bonefish, symbolizing marine wildlife significant to the Gulf region. The fish is shown in dynamic detail, with scales and fins carefully rendered. Surrounding inscriptions include the denomination 7½ Riyals and Government of Ajman & Its Dep., along with decorative stars and Arabic script along the rim.

    Struck in silver, this coin belongs to the Endangered Wildlife series, highlighting Ajman’s numismatic program of the early 1970s, which blended local heritage, international themes, and nature conservation. Its unusual denomination, scarce mintage, and combination of ruler portrait with animal motifs make it highly desirable among collectors of Middle Eastern issues, wildlife coins, and rare world commemoratives.
