The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has launched gold and silver commemorative coins to mark the fifth-anniversary of Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI).
One side of the gold coin features the Knowledge Centre of MBZUAI, alongside the years '2020' and '2025', denoting the five-year period. The reverse side bears the UAE national emblem, encircled by the name 'Central Bank of the UAE' in Arabic and English.
The design also includes the inscription 'Power from Knowledge to Serve' surrounded by the name 'Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence' in both Arabic and English, as well as the University’s logo. The silver coin also features the same design, with its reverse side bearing the value of Dhs 50.
Each coin weighs 50 grams. The commemorative coins have been delivered to MBZUAI and will not be available for sale at CBUAE or the University.
Eric Xing, President and University Professor at MBZUAI, said, "The issuance of the commemorative coins by the Central Bank of the UAE is a profound recognition of Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence’s role in the nation’s strategic evolution. As we mark our fifth anniversary, we are proud to be part of the UAE’s success in embedding artificial intelligence at the heart of its national agenda. It is an honour for our journey toward becoming a global epicentre for AI research and higher education to be recognised through a historic tradition, one that bridges the heritage of the Emirates with the frontier of future technology."
