| Additional information |
Umm Al Qaiwain is the least populous of the UAE's constituent emirates, and in 1970 it was still a British protectorate operating under the Exclusive Agreement framework — the federation itself wouldn't form until December 1971. The commemorative gold issues produced by the Trucial States in this final pre-federation window were almost entirely aimed at international collectors, not local circulation. Most were struck in limited quantities by European mints under contract and sold through philatelic and numismatic agencies.
Ahmad II Al Mu'alla ruled from 1929 until his death in 1981 — one of the longest reigns among Gulf rulers of the twentieth century.
