Beschrijving voorzijde Facing right bust of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, wearing traditional Gulf headdress (keffiyeh and agal), rendered in high relief against a deeply mirrored proof field. A circular Arabic legend surrounds the effigy, reading in two arcs: the upper arc bearing his name and title, the lower arc identifying the United Arab Emirates. The portrait is naturalistically modelled with fine detail to the facial features and draped headdress, befitting a commemorative issue of this prestige.

Beschrijving keerzijde Central device depicts the UAE national emblem: a Falco peregrinus (falcon) with wings displayed, clutching a scroll inscribed in Arabic with the name of the state, and bearing on its breast a cartouche enclosing a traditional dhow under sail. The emblem is set within a recessed inner circle against a mirror-polished field. Surrounding the central device, a circular border legend in Arabic occupies the upper arc reading the Twenty-Fifth National Day, with the date 1996 in both Western and Eastern Arabic numerals flanking the left and right sides respectively, and the English legend THE TWENTY FIFTH ANNIVERSARY arranged along the lower arc in raised Latin capitals.

Aanvullende informatie

Issued to mark the UAE's 25th National Day in December 1996, this is among the heaviest gold coins ever produced by the Central Bank — 200 grams of .916 gold is a substantial commission by any standard, placing it firmly in the category of presentation pieces made for institutional gifting and state protocol rather than anything approaching circulation. The series was struck in extremely limited numbers, and few have appeared at public auction.

Sheikh Zayed had been instrumental in negotiating the federal union of the seven emirates in 1971, and the 25th anniversary series represented a deliberate assertion of that founding achievement under his continued leadership.
