A coin with some oxides (please, check photos).
The 1965 Bahrain 25 Fils coin, struck in proof copper-nickel, represents the earliest state coinage issued under the reign of Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa. Its obverse depicts a finely detailed date palm tree, the enduring symbol of Bahrain, standing for fertility, resilience, and prosperity in the desert nation. Surrounding the central motif are inscriptions in Arabic that emphasize its national identity and cultural pride. The reverse shows the denomination “25 Fils” written in elegant Arabic calligraphy, complemented by the English inscription “Bahrain” below, reflecting both heritage and international identity. With its clean proof finish and precise engraving, the coin combines cultural symbolism with numismatic artistry. As one of the earliest issues of independent Bahrain, it remains a significant collectible, valued for both its rarity and historical importance. Collectors prize it as a foundation piece of Middle Eastern modern numismatics.
