Dubai: ‘Visions of Dubai’, the emirate’s first souvenir 22 carat gold coin, will be available in stores by the end of the month and in units ranging from 34 gm to 3.4 gm.

The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) said in a release that the coin offers a new gift option for Eid to tourists and residents. The Centre has named Jumeirah Retail and Dubai Duty Free as the first two authorised distributors for the collectible keepsake.

The first coin in the series features the image of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, on one side, and the Burj Al Arab engraved on the other side. Other coins in the series will feature landmark images of Dubai.
