The coins will be made available for purchase after Ramadan.

They feature a range of designs including the image of President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the Louvre Abu Dhabi to reflect the UAE’s standing as a global cultural destination.

The agreement was signed by Ahmed Bin Sulayem, Executive Chairman and CEO of DMCC, and Michal Drtina, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Czech Mint.
