This higher-value definitive from the set features a grander architectural composition, reflecting the expansion of Islamic cultural institutions across Manama and surrounding cities during the country's mid-70s infrastructural boom.

Issued in 1976, this 200 Fils postage stamp (STATE OF BAHRAIN / دولة البحرين / 200 FILS / ٢٠٠ فلس) features a prominent mosque complex accented by a golden dome and a tall, multi-tiered minaret. The design highlights blue tiled courtyard boundary walls and arcades set against a bright sky, framed by the top-right inset portrait of Emir Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa.
