Comment
Previously referenced as KM#15 then X#M3Madinat Hamad or Hamad Town (Arabic: مدينة حمد) is a primarily commuter city within northern Bahrain. It was a municipality of Bahrain in the central part of the country. It was split from the municipality of Ar Rifa' wa al Mintaqah al Janubiyah in 1991. Its territory is now in the Northern Governorate. Its name refers to the current king of Bahrain, Hamad ibn Isa Al Khalifah. The city is culturally diverse, housing a proportionally mixed Shia-Sunni population of varying socio-economic backgrounds. Today, Hamad Town is an epitome of Bahraini multiculturalism, with no single ethnic or religious group making up the majority of inhabitants.
Interesting fact

The coin's obverse side features an image of the Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Emir of Bahrain from 1964 to 1999, while the reverse side depicts a traditional Bahraini boat, known as a "dhow," sailing through the waters of the Arabian Gulf. This design not only highlights Bahrain's maritime heritage but also serves as a symbol of the country's commitment to preserving its cultural traditions.
