The 1968 Bahrain 500 Fils silver coin, struck in Proof quality and graded PR67 by PCGS, commemorates the official opening of Isa Town, a milestone in the country’s modern development. On the obverse, the coin presents a finely detailed portrait of Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the first Emir of Bahrain, wearing a traditional headdress and robe, symbolizing both leadership and national identity.
