This definitive stamp from the first series of the newly formed United Arab Emirates features a Peregrine Falcon, a bird of great cultural significance in the region. The design highlights the falcon, a symbol of strength and heritage, which is also a key element in the UAE's coat of arms. The denomination is shown in both Arabic and Western numerals.

Issued in 1973, this stamp was part of the first definitive set released by the UAE following its formation in 1971. This series established a national philatelic identity, replacing the stamps of the individual Trucial States.
