Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Simon Bolivar, a Venezuelan military and political leader who played a key role in the Latin American wars of independence against Spain, on one side, and an image of Khālid III, the ruler of Sharjah at the time, on the other side.
