Royal Angelfish - 40 naye paise

This issue shifts focus from the desert interior to the rich marine ecosystems of the Arabian Gulf. The central vignette features a detailed, full-color rendering of a Royal Angelfish (Pygoplites diacanthus), showcasing its signature alternating bands of brilliant blue, yellow, and white against an underwater reef backdrop. Anchored on the left by the portrait of Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, this issue utilized a prominent local reef species to blend regional environmental biodiversity with the official visual authority of the newly independent territorial post office.
