Bahrain 250 fils FAO Conference Ship Palm PR68 PCGS CuNi coin 1969

The 1969 Bahrain 250 Fils coin, graded PR68 by PCGS, was issued as part of the international FAO initiative dedicated to combating hunger and supporting agricultural development. Struck in copper-nickel with a stunning proof finish, it displays on the obverse the emblem of the FAO — a stylized ear of wheat with the letters “F.A.O.” and the Latin motto “FIAT PANIS” (“Let there be bread”). Surrounding the design runs an Arabic inscription, while the denomination “250 Fils” is placed both in English and Arabic script. The reverse highlights Bahrain’s rich cultural identity: a traditional dhow ship sailing across the waters next to a date palm tree, a timeless symbol of sustenance and prosperity in the region. Inscriptions include “Government of Bahrain,” the dual date AH1389–1969, and Arabic script along the rim. With its prooflike brilliance and high certification, this coin combines artistry, history, and international significance. A rare and desirable piece for collectors of FAO issues and Middle Eastern numismatics.
