Emirates Mint issues limited “Proud of the UAE” commemorative gold and silver coins
Emirates Mint and Dubai Gold District unveil limited one-ounce gold and silver “Proud of the UAE” commemorative coins, with proceeds directed to Farjan Dubai to support community projects.
The Emirates Mint, in partnership with the Dubai Gold District, has launched a limited-edition series of commemorative coins marking the “Proud of the UAE” campaign. The collection, struck in one-ounce investment-grade gold and silver, is designed to capture national identity and collective resilience while offering collectors a durable store of value. Proceeds from sales will be channelled to Farjan Dubai, a social initiative focused on improving community wellbeing across Dubai.
Launch and purpose of the commemorative coins
The limited series was issued to celebrate the “Proud of the UAE” campaign and to commemorate a moment of national unity and resilience. Each coin is intended to serve both as a keepsake for citizens and residents and as an investment-quality object for collectors. The initiative also explicitly links cultural commemoration with social impact by designating a share of proceeds for community programs.
The announcement underscores a dual aim: to honor national identity and to mobilize private-sector resources for public benefit. Emirates Mint and the Dubai Gold District framed the release as an opportunity for individuals to own a tangible symbol of pride while contributing to social initiatives in Dubai.
Design, metal quality and minting specifications
The coins in the series are struck to investment standards, with gold at a purity of 999.9 and silver at 999. Each piece weighs one troy ounce, aligning the offering with conventional precious-metal investment measures. The visual design draws on Emirati heritage and national motifs, intended to reflect unity and gratitude.
Emirates Mint described the coins as both emblematic and functional, suitable for display or inclusion in a precious-metal portfolio. The mint emphasized craftsmanship and material standards to ensure the pieces meet collectors’ expectations for longevity and authenticity.
Availability and purchasing channels
The commemorative series is available for purchase at the Emirates Mint store located in the Dubai Gold District and through the mint’s official online platform. Buyers across the United Arab Emirates can order the coins with delivery options provided by Emirates Mint. The issuance was described as “limited edition,” although the mint did not specify a fixed production number.
This distribution strategy mixes traditional retail exposure in a high-profile jewellery and bullion hub with the convenience of e-commerce, widening access for both local and UAE-wide collectors. Emirates Mint noted that customers seeking to secure a piece should act early given the limited nature of the release.
Allocation of proceeds to Farjan Dubai
A portion of the sales revenue will be directed to Farjan Dubai, a social foundation that supports community development and quality-of-life projects across residential areas in the emirate. The partnership aims to translate cultural commemoration into measurable community benefits, funding initiatives that enhance social infrastructure and resident wellbeing.
Farjan Dubai’s managing director welcomed the contribution as reinforcing a shared commitment to civic responsibility. The arrangement aligns private commemorative activity with public-benefit programming, offering a model for how cultural products can generate philanthropic support.
Statements from officials and partners
Rashid Al-Harmoudi, Senior Commercial Director at Ithra Dubai, described the project as a gesture of appreciation for the nation’s unity and resilience. He said the collaboration with Emirates Mint reflects a broader civic spirit and provides citizens and residents with a durable memento of a significant national moment. The Dubai Gold District expressed pride in facilitating the release and in directing proceeds toward community needs.
Isa Saeed Al Falasi, Chairman of Emirates Mint, said the collection was conceived as a tribute to leadership and solidarity shown during exceptional times. He highlighted the coins’ symbolic value and confirmed the mint’s commitment to supporting Farjan Dubai through the designated proceeds. Aliya Al Shumlan, Managing Director of Farjan Dubai, called the initiative a meaningful example of strategic partnership between private entities and social programmes.
Community impact and future intentions
Organizers framed the release as more than a commemorative sale; they called it part of a broader effort to mobilize private-sector contributions for community development. By linking the coins to Farjan Dubai’s programmes, the campaign aims to support targeted projects that improve local living conditions and social services. Officials signalled an interest in further collaborations that pair cultural initiatives with tangible community outcomes.
Emirates Mint and its partners indicated the release could set a precedent for future commemorative projects that balance heritage celebration with social investment. The use of established retail and online channels is intended to maximize reach while ensuring that proceeds generate measurable benefits for Dubai’s neighbourhoods.
The limited-edition “Proud of the UAE” commemorative coins are now on sale at the Dubai Gold District and via Emirates Mint’s website, available for delivery across the UAE, with part of the revenue committed to Farjan Dubai to support social projects.
