Ajman 7 1/2 riyals Wildlife Gazelle MS68 PCGS Top Pop silver coin 1970

The Ajman 7 1/2 Riyals silver coin of 1970 is one of the finest pieces in the emirate’s early wildlife series, blending artistry, symbolism, and rarity. The reverse showcases a beautifully detailed Gazelle, an emblematic desert antelope representing grace, agility, and endurance. Above the animal appears the denomination 7 1/2 Riyals, while the outer legend in Arabic and English reads Government of Ajman & Its Deps. The obverse features the portrait of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, ruler of Ajman from 1928 until 1981, surrounded by Arabic calligraphy and his name inscribed in Latin letters. This design captures the dual identity of Ajman — a proud desert emirate cherishing its wildlife while honoring its leader. Struck in silver and graded MS68 by PCGS, this specimen is designated Top Pop, meaning it ranks among the very best surviving examples. Its combination of rarity, superb state of preservation, and historical context makes it a highly desirable addition to any serious numismatic collection.
