Bahrain Banknotes 5 Dinar bank note 1979 Bahrain Monetary Agency
On the front of the note, the title of the new issuing authority appears at the top - Bahrain Monetary Agency, the crest of the Ruler of Bahrain appears to the right, a dhow under full sail appears in the centre, while at the left there are three features. The most dominant of the three features is a map of the Bahrain archipelago, to the left of which appears a vignette of a minaret of the al Fadhel mosque, while to the right is disc displaying the points of the compass, surmounted by a device showing North.
The 5-dinar note has one of the minarets of the Suq al Khamis mosque as the small vignette on its front and two pearling boats on its back. The illustration of the pearling boats on the new 5-dinar note is adapted from the illustration on the back of the first 5-dinar note.
