附加信息	Ajman, smallest of the Trucial States by both area and population, issued a wave of essai and proof coinage in the late 1960s and early 1970s that had virtually no relationship to everyday commerce. These pieces were produced speculatively for the international collector market, often through arrangements with European mints and medal manufacturers, in the years immediately before the Trucial States federated into the UAE in December 1971. Ajman's ruler, Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, lent his name to issues that were obsolete almost before they were distributed. The "3 dates" designation refers to the coin bearing three calendar year inscriptions simultaneously — Hijri, solar Hijri, and Gregorian — a device used on several Gulf issues of this period.
