| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse features four Apollo mission emblems — representing Apollo IX, Apollo X, Apollo XI, and Apollo XII — arranged around a central composition depicting the Sun and three rearing winged horses leaping from the Earth toward the Moon through a stylized space field. The crew names for each mission are inscribed adjacent to their respective mission badge in Latin script. The legend 'APOLLO XIII' appears prominently, connecting the commemorative theme to the ill-fated thirteenth mission. The overall design is richly detailed, combining celestial imagery with the heraldic and emblematic insignia of the early American space program. |

Fujairah was among the smallest and most financially marginal of the Trucial States, and its 1969–1971 commemorative coin program was nakedly commercial — produced not for circulation but for sale to foreign collectors through agencies like Imperia in Vaduz. The "Mohammed Apollo XIII" designation refers to the Apollo 13 mission of April 1970, though the naming convention grafting the ruling sheikh's name onto a NASA mission title was a marketing device with no official NASA endorsement or diplomatic significance whatsoever.
Apollo 13 never landed on the moon. Commemorating a near-disaster was an unusual sales pitch, though it apparently worked — dozens of Trucial State issues from this period flooded the collector market simultaneously.
