Reported mintage of 800 sets for KM#PS8Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Riyals - Rashid (Gamal Abdel Nasser; Trial) 1390 (1970) from Ajman (United Arab Emirates) made of Aluminium is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was part of a trial series of coins that were produced in 1970, but ultimately never adopted as the official currency of the United Arab Emirates. As a result, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history.
