Silver coin issued in celebration of Emirati Children’s Day

The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has issued silver commemorative coins in celebration of Emirati Children’s Day, which falls on March 15.

One side of the coin features the nominal value of “15 dirhams” as a symbolic reference to the date of the occasion, surrounded by the inscription “Central Bank of the UAE” in both Arabic and English.

The other side showcases the official theme of the occasion, represented by the phrase “The Right to Identity and National Culture”, accompanied by an artistic illustration of a fort, reflecting Emirati history and emphasising the child’s connection to their national roots and values.

"This reflects the CBUAE’s commitment to supporting national initiatives that contribute to strengthening the Emirati identity and reinforcing the values of belonging and citizenship within the community," said Saif Humaid Al Dhaheri, Assistant Governor for Banking Operations and Support Services at the CBUAE.

"It also highlights the CBUAE’s appreciation for the pivotal role played by the Supreme Council for Motherhood and Childhood in safeguarding and nurturing children, strengthening their understanding of their national identity, and fostering the principles of loyalty and belonging among younger generations."

A total of 2,000 coins, each weighing 28 grams of silver, have been issued.

The coin will be made available for purchase, with the CBUAE announcing the release date and purchasing mechanism soon through its official website and social media channels.
