Notice this particular UAE 1 dirham coin where the last three Alphabets TES in Emirates seem to be like fancy inscription unlike the other alphabets. Also the alphabet N in United look like a double strike. I have tried comparing it with my other 1 dirham coin but do not have the fancy inscription. I have also checked online but couldn't find one either. Hope anyone can shed some light about this coin,if it is a oddity or error. Thank you.

to the CCF, Selva!
I have 25 of these UAE dirhams dated between 1995 - 2008 and examined them while looking at your picture. I think that a circulation hit pushed metal of the T and E crossbars up making it look like a different font. There is damage to the rim in that area so this is most likely what happened.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures
