Ajman 5 riyals Save Venice KM-27 proof silver coin 1971

The Ajman 5 riyals silver proof coin issued in 1971 is part of the historic “Save Venice” commemorative series, dedicated to the global campaign aimed at preserving the endangered architectural and cultural heritage of Venice. This issue reflects a unique intersection of international cooperation and numismatic artistry.

The obverse presents a refined composition with two crossed flags at the center, symbolizing unity and international support. Beneath them appears a small portrait of a bearded figure, rendered in a stylized manner, evoking tradition and guardianship. Arabic inscriptions run along the upper rim, while the denomination “5” is prominently placed above the flags. Decorative stars and a beaded circular border frame the design, all enhanced by deep toning and зеркальная proof surfaces that highlight the relief.

The reverse features a bold and modern design dominated by the large numeral “5” integrated with sweeping ribbon-like elements. The inscription “SAVE VENICE” curves along the upper edge, while “RIYALS” appears below. The composition is enclosed by a dotted border, giving the coin a balanced and elegant appearance.

Struck in silver with a proof finish (KM-27), this coin stands out for its artistic symbolism and historical relevance. A meaningful addition for collectors of world silver coins and commemorative issues.
