| Additional information |
Issued to mark the inauguration of the Dubai Financial Market as a regulated securities exchange, this piece reflects the UAE's early-2000s push to formalize capital markets that had previously operated with limited regulatory oversight. The DFM had been established in 2000 but spent much of its first decade building the legal and institutional infrastructure that warranted commemorative recognition by the central bank.
KM# 89 is not a particularly scarce strike, but surviving examples in original packaging tend to grade sharply given the near-total absence of circulation.
