| Obverse description | The royal coat of arms of the Kingdom of Bahrain is depicted centrally within a beaded circle. The state name appears in Arabic script above and in Latin letters below, flanking the arms. The Islamic calendar date 1431 and the Gregorian year 2010 are inscribed in the field, with the dual-date legend reading '1431 2010'. The overall design is rendered in a formal heraldic style befitting a proof issue. |

KM#26a is a proof restrike of Bahrain's circulating 100 fils type, issued under the Bahrain Monetary Agency in its final years before that body was formally dissolved and replaced by the Central Bank of Bahrain in 2006 — making the 2010 date on this piece something of an institutional anomaly worth noting in any serious collection.
