In recent years several coin collections amassed by several expatriates in the United Arab Emirates have appeared on the market. Here 193 coins collected at ed‐Dur and Mleiha are presented. With three exceptions, all belong to known types. The purpose of this article is to document as many coins as possible and to thereby contribute to the avoidance of a distorted image of coin circulation in this little‐known area. The classification elaborated by D.T. Potts has been followed.
