The Central Bank of Bahrain replaced the Bahrain Monetary Agency in 2006, and this note was part of the first currency series issued under the new institutional name — a change driven by the 2006 Central Bank of Bahrain Law rather than any monetary crisis or reform of the currency itself. The dinar's peg to the US dollar, fixed since 1980 at 0.376 BHD per dollar, remained entirely unchanged.
De La Rue's Basingstoke facility handled production, and the optically variable ink on the denomination numeral shifts between two colors under different viewing angles — one of the more effective anti-counterfeiting measures in Gulf-region notes of that period.
