He was a five-star general in the United States Army during World War II and served as Supreme Commander of the Allied Forces in Europe.

In 1951, he became the first Supreme Commander of NATO.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Riyals - Saqr (Dwight Eisenhower; Trial) ND (1970) from Ras al-Khaimah (United Arab Emirates) made of Aluminium is that it features a unique design, showcasing an image of Dwight D. Eisenhower, the 34th President of the United States, on one side, and a representation of the Saqr falcon on the other. This coin was minted as a trial piece and was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
