Detailed architectural rendering of the Khalifa Mosque in Sharjah occupies the central field, depicting the mosque's principal dome flanked by two prominent minarets and an arcaded facade rendered in fine relief. Above the mosque, an Arabic legend reading 'مسكوكة تذكارية' (Commemorative Coin) arcs along the upper periphery. Below the architectural motif, the name 'مسجد الشارقة' (Sharjah Mosque) appears in stylized Arabic calligraphy, followed by the denomination '100 درهم' (100 Dirhams) and the dual Hijri/Gregorian date '١٤٤٠ - ٢٠١٩' in the lower field. The proof fields surrounding the design exhibit a mirror-like finish contrasting with the frosted relief of the mosque illustration. |

The entire reverse field is occupied by a continuous band of Quranic verse (Surah At-Tawbah, 9:18) rendered in an elaborate Al-Thuluth calligraphic style, arranged in a circular wreath-like composition that radiates inward from the rim toward a smooth, mirror-polished central field. The calligraphic strokes are deeply incised and highly stylized, with interlocking letterforms creating an ornate, medallion-like border that fills the field from edge to edge. The interplay between the frosted calligraphic legend and the polished proof field at the centre produces a striking visual contrast characteristic of high-quality commemorative coinage. |

Issued to mark the completion of the Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa Mosque in Sharjah, this piece belongs to a run of large-format UAE commemoratives produced in high-purity silver that the Central Bank of the UAE began expanding aggressively in the mid-2010s as both collector and gift-market demand from the Gulf region grew. The 2019 date places it squarely within the UAE's year-round program of civic and religious commemoratives, which by that point had become a significant revenue stream separate from general circulation coinage.
