| Obverse description | Central effigy of Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan depicted in a draped bust portrait facing slightly right, wearing traditional Emirati headdress (keffiyeh and agal), set within a raised inner circle against a polished field. The denomination '١٠٠ درهم' (100 Dirhams) appears in the lower portion of the inner circle beneath the portrait. A broad outer border carries the Arabic legend in flowing calligraphic script, naming the ruler and his title as President of the United Arab Emirates, running around the full circumference of the coin. |

| Additional information |
The Central Bank of the UAE was established in 1980 by Federal Law No. 10, replacing the UAE Currency Board that had managed the dirham since its introduction in 1973. The 40th anniversary referenced here counts from the dirham's adoption rather than the bank's own founding — a distinction the issuing authority chose deliberately, anchoring the commemoration to the currency itself.
