| Additional information |
Issued by the Bahrain Monetary Agency to mark the inauguration of Isa Town, the planned settlement built south of Manama to relieve the capital's housing pressure during Bahrain's oil-boom expansion of the 1960s and 70s. The town was named for Emir Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, who ruled from 1961 until his death in 1999.
The .917 fineness — crown gold standard — places this squarely in the Gulf commemorative tradition of the period, where collector-focused gold issues were struck to exacting jewelry-grade standards rather than monetary ones. Fr#5 suggests a small series; surviving populations in any condition remain modest.
