| Additional information |
Fujairah was among the smallest and least populous of the Trucial States when it began issuing commemorative coinage in the late 1960s — a practice that had less to do with monetary need and everything to do with the international collector market. These issues were produced almost entirely for export, with Franklin Mint handling distribution to numismatic subscribers worldwide. The "papal visit" being commemorated here was Paul VI's trip to Manila in November 1970, the first visit by a reigning pope to Asia.
Fujairah formally joined the UAE federation in 1971, after which its independent coinage program ceased entirely.
