keeping directly to the inaugural 1964 definitive fauna series for the Emirate of Umm Al Quwain (أم القيوين), this horizontal issue highlights regional marine biodiversity. The right-hand panel features a detailed, full-color illustration of a Clown Triggerfish (Balistoides conspicillum), a visually striking reef dweller native to the coral ecosystems of the Indo-Pacific and Gulf regions. The engraving intricately depicts its characteristic leopard-like structural pattern, complete with large white circular spots along its dark ventral side, a bright yellow grid pattern across its back, and its distinctive orange-ringed mouth.
