| Opschrift voorzijde | HAWAR 2025 |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | Hexagonal flan with a deeply mirrored proof field. The large numeral '5' occupies the upper left quadrant, with the denomination legend DIHARS inscribed immediately below in bold Latin letters. To the right, a raptor — consistent with a Sooty Falcon or Osprey — is depicted perched and facing left in fine relief. In the lower field, a Dugong (sea cow) swims amid stylised waves and aquatic vegetation, evoking the marine fauna of the Hawar Islands nature reserve. The engraver's initials ВБ appear in Cyrillic characters on the reverse field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Hawar Islands were the subject of one of the longest-running territorial disputes in the Persian Gulf, contested between Bahrain and Qatar for most of the twentieth century. The International Court of Justice finally awarded sovereignty to Bahrain in 2001, ending a dispute that had at points involved military posturing and broken diplomatic relations between the two neighbors.
Commemorative issues tied to the Hawar ruling have appeared periodically since, each one a quiet assertion of settled sovereignty over territory that was anything but settled for decades.
