Bahrain 250 fils FAO Conference Ship Palm PR69 PCGS silver coin 1983

The 1983 Bahrain 250 Fils silver coin, graded PR69DCAM by PCGS, was struck to honor the FAO program and Bahrain’s role in promoting food security and sustainable agriculture. Made of silver in brilliant proof deep cameo quality, the obverse features the emblem of the Food and Agriculture Organization — a stylized ear of wheat with the letters “F.A.O.” and the Latin motto “FIAT PANIS,” meaning “Let there be bread.” This powerful symbol is framed by Arabic inscriptions and accompanied by the denomination “250 Fils” in both Arabic and English. The reverse reflects Bahrain’s cultural roots and prosperity, depicting a traditional dhow ship sailing the waters alongside a date palm tree, a symbol of life and endurance in the Gulf region. Around the rim appear the legend “Government of Bahrain” and the dual date AH1403–1983. Certified PR69DCAM, this coin combines international significance with exquisite artistry, making it a rare highlight for collectors of FAO issues, silver proofs, and Middle Eastern numismatics.
