Central Bank issues commemorative coins to mark silver jubilee of American University of Sharjah

In order to celebrate the silver jubilee of the American University of Sharjah, 1,000 commemorative silver coins were issued by the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), in collaboration with American University of Sharjah (AUS). The AUS was established in 1997, in fulfilment of the vision of its founder, His Highness Dr. Sheikh Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, and President of American University of Sharjah.

The university served to one of the leading educational institutions where students are inspired to excel academically, thrive socially, celebrate their cultural diversity, and positively influence their communities, embodying the legacy of AUS.

The front side of the coin includes a drawing of AUS with the year of its establishment, surrounded by the name of the university in Arabic and English. The reverse side of the coin includes a logo, specially designed to celebrate the 25th anniversary, in addition to the nominal value (Dh25), with the name of the Central Bank of the UAE written in both Arabic and English languages. Each coin weighs 40 grams. All issued coins have been handed over to AUS and will not be available for sale at the CBUAE headquarters and its branches.
