Bahrain 250 fils FAO Conference Ship Palm MS64 PCGS CuNi coin 1969

The 1969 Bahrain 250 Fils coin, certified PCGS MS64, was issued in honor of the FAO program promoting global food security and agricultural development. Struck in copper-nickel, the obverse features the emblem of the FAO: a stylized ear of wheat with the initials “F.A.O.” and the motto “FIAT PANIS,” meaning “Let there be bread.” Around the emblem runs an elegant Arabic inscription, while below is the denomination “250 Fils” both in Latin and Arabic script. The reverse shows a beautifully detailed composition symbolizing Bahrain’s heritage and prosperity: a traditional dhow ship sailing the waters alongside a date palm tree, an iconic emblem of sustenance in the region. The inscriptions include “Government of Bahrain,” the dual date AH1389–1969, and Arabic legends along the rim. Graded MS64 by PCGS, this coin captures the spirit of progress and tradition, making it a highly collectible piece in both numismatic and cultural terms. Its rarity and historical significance ensure lasting value for collectors of Middle Eastern and FAO issues.
