An Indian coin collector from the state of Kerala revealed that he has more than 50 coins in his collection that bear the image of Queen Elizabeth II.
The Dubai-based collector, who has been preserving rarities and antiquities for his 16 years of expat life, has coins from 1973 until 2007, Khaleej Times reported.
“Over 37 countries have minted coins with the Queen’s image,” Najmuddin said, adding that he has at least 80 per cent of it in his collection.
"In addition to that I have paper cuttings of her visit to the country in 1979 when she inaugurated the UAE university,” he said.
The world’s second-longest reigning monarch Queen Elizabeth II made two visits to the UAE, once in 1979 and then again in 2010.
She died at the age of 96 on September 8, 2022.
