| Additional information |
The Bahrain Currency Board issued this bimetallic 100 Fils across a span that bridges two reigns — Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, who ruled from independence in 1971 until his death in March 1999, and his son Hamad, who succeeded him and would later restructure the state from an emirate into a kingdom in 2002. The single type thus circulated under both rulers without a redesign, a practical decision that kept withdrawal costs down during the transition.
Bahrain adopted bimetallic coinage earlier than most Gulf states, partly in response to the region-wide problem of silver and nickel coins being hoarded or melted when commodity prices shifted.
