A coin with some scratches and oxides, a capsule (please, check photos).
The 1969 Ajman 5 Riyals silver proof coin is a remarkable collectible that reflects both the artistry and symbolism of the emirate’s coinage. On the obverse, the central denomination “5 RYALS” is inscribed in bold English letters, accompanied by its Arabic equivalent above. The rim features an elegant Arabic script alongside the inscription “GOVERNMENT OF AJMAN & ITS DEP.” framed by small stars and decorative beading, giving the design a sense of official authority and refined balance. The reverse is especially striking: a detailed falcon, an enduring emblem of strength and heritage in the Arabian Peninsula, stands proudly before two crossed flags. Above it, a pair of traditional curved khanjars (Arabian daggers) further emphasize regional identity and tradition. The date appears in both Gregorian (1969) and Hijri (1389) calendars, highlighting the cultural duality of Ajman’s past. Struck in proof silver, this coin radiates mirror-like brilliance and historical value, making it an essential addition for collectors of Middle Eastern numismatics.
