Описание лицевой стороны	The State of Kuwait coat of arms, incorporating a dhow within a circular vignette, occupies the right portion of the note against a multicoloured guilloche underprint. To the left, an intaglio vignette of the Kuwait Towers rises against a fine latticework background. The denomination in Arabic script appears centrally, accompanied by Arabic legends referencing the Central Bank of Kuwait and the authorising law, with two manuscript signatures at the lower centre.

Описание оборотной стороны	An aerial panoramic vignette of the Port of Shuwaikh spans the left and central areas of the note, rendered in blue intaglio with fine detail of quays, industrial facilities, and vessels at berth. Decorative guilloche borders frame the composition on all sides, with stylised serpentine corner ornaments in each corner. The English inscription "Central Bank of Kuwait" runs along the top, and the denomination "Half Dinar" appears at lower right in English, flanked by fractional numerals.

Комментарии	This is the post-liberation series, issued after Kuwait's reoccupation in February 1991 following the Iraqi invasion and seven-month occupation. The entire pre-war currency stock was considered compromised — Iraqi authorities had printed and circulated counterfeit Kuwaiti dinars during the occupation, and the legitimate note supply had been looted in enormous quantities. A complete currency replacement was the only viable response, and Thomas De La Rue moved quickly to produce the new series. The half dinar Pick 18 is the lowest denomination of that replacement issue. De La Rue's watermark security on this series was deliberately upgraded from the previous generation, a direct consequence of how systematically the occupation-era counterfeiting had exposed weaknesses in the old notes.
