The House of Emirates, a UK based collector entity, specializing in ethereal jewellery, eternal treasures, splendid art, rare coins, and royal gifts has announced that it has tokenized for the first UAE Dirham tender coin minted in 1973.

As per the X post, ” House of Emirates is so thrilled to offer its elite clientele the FIRST EVER tokenized first UAE legal tender coin ( Dirham ) minted in 1973. This exceptional coin of a great historical significance was the first ever currency for the newly formed country. This historical decision to issue a united currency was ordained by the visionary founder of the UAE, HH Sheikh Zayed Ben Sultan Alnahyan. Now you can own this magnificent coin physically and on the blockchain at the same time.”

The coin was tokenized on the Galileo Protocol. Galileo is developing the world’s first platform and ecosystem for the tokenization and redemption of physical assets. Tokenization involves representing real-world assets as digital tokens on a blockchain, enabling secure and transparent exchange and transfer.

Using blockchain, Galileo’s platform offers solutions for tokenizing physical assets such as real estate, artwork, collectible cars, precious metals, and more. It allows asset owners to convert these assets into tokens, making it easier to divide them into fractions, trade them, and increase their liquidity.

Galileo’s ecosystem also includes asset custody infrastructure, ensuring the secure storage of the underlying physical assets. Owners can store their assets in certified and audited vaults, benefiting from a secure and regulated storage solution.
