Surrounding the central cartouche, a Quranic verse (Surah Al-Anbiya 21:92) in Arabic script runs continuously around the border: 'وإن هذه أمتكم أمة واحدة وأنا ربكم فاتقون'. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border. The execution is in proof-like finish with frosted relief against a polished field. |

| Additional information |
The UAE issued a series of .999 fine silver dirhams beginning in 1999 primarily for the collector and gift market rather than general circulation — standard circulating dirhams of this denomination are cupro-nickel, making the silver strikes a deliberate departure intended partly for expatriate remittance gifting, a significant economic consideration in a country where foreign nationals constitute the vast majority of the resident population.
