The proud of UAE coins are here, and if you collect precious metals or just want to own a piece of UAE history, this is one release you do not want to miss. Emirates Minting Factory, the UAE-based precious metals mint and refinery, has partnered with Dubai Gold District, the region’s largest and most diverse gold and jewellery destination, to launch a limited-edition gold and silver commemorative coin collection. The coins are available exclusively at Dubai Gold District and online at emiratesminting.ae, and with a limited production run, availability is not guaranteed for long.
What the Proud of UAE Coins Look Like
Each piece in this collection is struck in investment-grade 1 oz gold and silver. The design takes from the UAE’s identity and heritage, with precision and quality central to every coin. That places this collection firmly in the premium bullion category, meaning each coin holds genuine material value on top of its commemorative significance.
The proud of UAE coins were conceived as a tribute to a defining moment in the nation’s story, one that honours the UAE’s unity, leadership, and resilience. Essa Al Falasi, Chairman of Emirates Minting Factory, said:
“As a UAE-born company, Emirates Minting Factory felt a responsibility to contribute in a way that carries both value and purpose. Each piece stands as a tribute to a nation that continues to stand strong for its people and partners.”
Gold collecting in the UAE has always been tied to culture and identity. If you have been following [Dubai’s gold market](INTERNAL LINK), you already know how significant a limited-edition bullion release from this kind of collaboration is.
Where Every Dirham You Spend Actually Goes
This is not a standard collectible purchase. All proceeds from the sale of these coins go directly to Ferjan Dubai, a social enterprise dedicated to strengthening community life and social wellbeing in Dubai’s neighbourhoods. Every coin sold translates into tangible support for community development programmes on the ground.
Alia Al Shamlan, Managing Director of Ferjan Dubai, said the initiative embodies UAE values of solidarity and social responsibility. She noted the importance of cooperation between government entities and the private sector to positively impact Emirati citizens and the wider community.
For collectors who care about where their money goes, this is a meaningful distinction.
Who Is Behind the Proud of UAE Coin Launch
Emirates Minting Factory is a UAE-born precious metals mint and refinery with a focus on investment-grade production and national significance. Dubai Gold District, the region’s leading gold and jewellery destination, is managed by Ithra Dubai.
Rashid Al Harmoodi, Senior Commercial Director at Ithra Dubai, described the collection as “a gesture of appreciation,” adding that the UAE has shown unity and strength at the moments that matter most. “At Dubai Gold District, we are proud to partner with Emirates Minting Factory in sharing a tribute that contributes meaningfully to the community,” he said.
Dubai Gold District has long been a hub for collectors and investors in the UAE. This partnership with Emirates Minting Factory is a natural fit for a destination that has always placed national identity alongside commercial value.
