| 背面描述 | The reverse is dominated by a finely executed intaglio vignette of the Al-Fateh Grand Mosque (Al-Fateh Islamic Center), set within a richly layered multicolour guilloche ground. Geometric and floral arabesque borders frame all four sides of the composition, with the denomination numeral repeated in the corners. Arabic inscriptions identifying the issuing authority and denomination are integrated into the decorative underprint. |

The Bahrain Monetary Agency's second series, of which this is part, replaced the first issue following Bahrain's decision not to join the proposed Gulf monetary union that had been under intermittent discussion since the late 1970s. The 20 Dinar denomination has always sat at the top of Bahraini circulation — there is no 50 or 100 Dinar equivalent in this series — making it the functional high-value workhorse rather than a ceremonial large denomination.
Thomas De La Rue's production for this series is notably tight in registration, and fading of the intaglio on heavily circulated examples is the most common condition issue collectors encounter.
