Gold

DMCC’s status as one of the world’s largest gold trading hubs underpins Dubai’s international reputation as ‘the City of Gold’, with the emirate accounting for 25% of worldwide trade in the metal – the majority of which flows through DMCC.

DMCC boasts exceptional infrastructure, from a cutting-edge and bespoke precious metals vaults, to a dense refinery grid, to jewellery manufacturing facilities. Our unique products, including UAE bullion coins and dynamic platforms such as the Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange (DGCX) and DMCC Tradeflow for trade finance, seamlessly blend the age-old trade with modern advancements.

Unrivalled globally, DMCC's innovations include regional gold options trading and Shariah-compliant hedge funds.

Embracing the future, DMCC has ventured into the digital realm, pioneering the tokenisation of gold. By backing crypto assets with gold via the Tradeflow platform, we're bridging traditional trade with futuristic innovations.

Celebrating the UAE's stature as one of the world’s largest gold trading hubs, DMCC’s UAE Bullion Coins boast a fineness of 9999 purity (24 carat) in gold and 999 purity in silver and are available in four unique designs.

The first, which is available in denominations of 1 oz, ½ oz, ¼ oz, and 1/10 oz respectively, features a portrait of the late HH Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, alongside the world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa.

Also available in four denominations is a coin featuring HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and the world’s largest man-made island, Palm Jumeirah.

The remaining two coins feature two unique designs and are available in select denominations in gold or silver. The first design features a portrait of HH Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE and Ruler of Abu Dhabi on one side and the Louvre Abu Dhabi on the other. The second design features HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai.
