UAE 1995 25th Anniversary

I've handled enough Middle Eastern commemoratives over the decades to know that the UAE's coinage in the 1990s often marked national events, but this specific 1995 25th Anniversary piece gives me pause. The federation was established in 1971, so a true 25th anniversary would land in 1996, leaving me uncertain if this coin exists as described or if it's a variant for something else, like an early celebration or a different milestone. Perhaps it's tied to the UAE's rapid development under its leaders, though records from that period can be spotty. In my experience, such issues were typically struck in silver or gold by foreign mints, given the UAE's limited domestic production at the time. Still, without solid documentation, I can't confirm details like design or mintage. It's just another reminder that not every shiny story holds up under scrutiny.
