Mountain Gazelle - 50 naye paise

This stamp from the same landmark 1964 series shifts thematic focus to the traditional fauna of the Arabian Peninsula. The detailed engraving captures an alert Mountain Gazelle (Gazella gazella), an animal deeply tied to the cultural identity and geographic history of the region—and the source of the name "Abu Dhabi" itself (translated as "Father of the Gazelle"). An octagonal portrait of Sheikh Shakhbut bin Sultan Al Nahyan anchors the upper-left corner, balancing local wildlife heritage with sovereign political authority.
