| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device comprises the state emblem of Ras al-Khaimah, featuring two crossed khanjar daggers superimposed between two crossed-pole flags, all enclosed within a wreath of foliage. The Hijri date '١٣٨٩' (1389 AH) appears to the left and the Gregorian date '١٩٦٩' (1969) to the right within the design, flanking the central emblem. The wreath frames the entire composition, lending the reverse a heraldic and formal character consistent with Gulf state coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ras al-Khaimah was the last of the Trucial States to join the UAE in 1972, and its brief window of independent coin issuance — roughly 1969 to 1971 — produced a series of issues aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation. Saqr bin Mohammad al-Qasimi had ruled since 1948 and understood that foreign exchange from numismatic sales offered real revenue for one of the poorest and most isolated of the seven sheikhdoms.
Most of these issues never saw a day of genuine commerce.
