| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Emir of Bahrain, depicted wearing traditional Arab dress including a keffiyeh secured by an agal, rendered in high relief against a mirror-polished field. The portrait, engraved by Michael Rizzello, conveys a refined sculptural quality with detailed rendering of the embroidered robe collar and the layered cords of the agal. No legends or inscriptions appear on the obverse, the design relying entirely on the portrait's artistic presence to fill the broad flan. |
