Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Riyals - Rashid (Save Venice) ND (1971) coin from Ajman (United Arab Emirates) is that it was issued to commemorate the "Save Venice" project, which was a global initiative to protect and preserve the city of Venice, Italy, from flooding and damage caused by rising sea levels.
