Richard Milhous Nixon (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) was the 37th President of the United States who served from 1969 to 1974, when he became the only U.S. president to resign the office. Nixon had previously served as a U.S. Representative and Senator from California and as the 36th Vice President of the United States from 1953 to 1961.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of President Richard Nixon, who was the President of the United States at the time the coin was minted, despite the coin being issued by Fujairah, a state in the United Arab Emirates. This is a unique instance of a foreign leader being featured on a coin from another country.
