| Reverse description | At center, the crowned coat of arms of Bahrain is displayed within an octagonal frame, combining heraldic and Islamic geometric design elements. Surrounding the central device, the coin bears bilingual inscriptions in Arabic and Latin script giving the issuer name, the commemorated place name, the denomination, and the dual Hijri and Gregorian dates. The legends read 'BAHRAIN', 'ISA TOWN', '500 FILS', 'مدينة عيسى', 'البحرين', '١٤٠٣-١٩٨٣', and '٥٠٠ فلس', commemorating the foundation of Isa Town. The overall composition balances heraldic tradition with the bilingual character of modern Bahraini coinage. |
