Dubai to launch
first collectible gold coin
The Dubai Multi
Commodities Centre (DMCC) has announced that its first collectible gold coin
will be available for sale from September 27th.
Called Visions of Dubai, the coin will feature the image Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, the ruler of Dubai and vice president and prime minister of
the United Arab Emirates.
An engraved image of the famous Burj Al Arab luxury hotel will appear on the
other side of the gold coin.
"We are confident that Visions of Dubai will prove a popular keepsake among both
residents and visitors to the emirate - which is projected to attract in excess
of 32 million visitors this year," said Colin Griffith, DMCC's executive
director for gold and precious metals.
According to the DMCC, the 22-carat gold coins will be produced locally and will
come in four different units.
The coins will be available for purchase individually, or in a presentation pack
featuring all four coin sizes.
