You asked this same question two weeks ago, and you are still not providing some very important information. There is no way to tell value without a better description of the coin, including weight, diameter, date (if any) and design. A scanned photo would be ideal.
Here, once again, is my response from two weeks ago:
Knowing the date and denomination of the coin would be very helpful. The only Bahrain gold coin I could find in the catalog is a 10 Dinar coin dated 1968 (Commemorative for Isa Town). It contains .4712 ounce of 22 karat gold, which at today's spot price, makes it worth a minimum of US$340.
Added later: The Standard Catalog of World Coins lists three other gold coins for Bahrain:
10 Dinars 1971 Independence commemorative (.1871 oz. 22K Gold), mintage 3000
50 Dinars 1978 (.4712 oz. 22K Gold), mintage 5000
100 Dinars 1978 (.9424 oz. 22K Gold), mintage 5000
Gold is at $643 / ounce right now, so use that as a minimum value.
Added later: I think I found your coin on the Central bank of Bahrain web site. It contains 16 grams of 22 Karat gold (which comes out to .4712 ounces). Apparently, this coin is still being sold by the Central Bank, although the price shown on the web site (100 Bahrain Dinars / US$266) has to be low, since with gold at $643, your coin has a gold value of US$303.
Check the link and let me know if this is your coin. I can be contacted through Yahoo Answers. If this is the coin, you can e-mail the Central Bank of Bahrain and find out what they are currently selling that coin for. That would be the definitive answer to your question.
