| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features a large central shield at right bearing the portrait busts of the three Apollo XII astronauts — Charles Conrad, Richard Gordon, and Alan Bean — with their names inscribed alongside each effigy. To the left, set against a lunar background, are four smaller heraldic shields commemorating the Apollo IX, Apollo X, Apollo XI, and Apollo XII missions, with the respective mission names and crew names of Apollo IX (McDivitt, Scott, Schweickart) and Apollo X (Stafford, Young, Cernan) inscribed on their corresponding shields. The legend 'APOLLO XII' appears prominently on the large central shield. The overall composition celebrates the American Apollo space program in a commemorative medallion style. |

Fujairah was among the smallest and most isolated of the Trucial States — no paved roads, no banking infrastructure, no real monetary economy to speak of — which makes its sudden appearance as a prolific issuer of silver commemoratives in 1969 a purely commercial phenomenon. These pieces were struck not for circulation but for the international collector market, timed to capitalize on Apollo 12's November 1969 lunar landing. The issuing authority had essentially no mint of its own; production was contracted to European facilities.
Fujairah joined the UAE in 1971, after which this kind of speculative issue ceased entirely.
