When Iraqi forces occupied Kuwait in August 1990, they looted the Central Bank's vaults and removed substantial stocks of unissued notes — including examples from this series. The stolen notes, identified by their serial prefix characteristics, were subsequently declared invalid by the Kuwaiti government-in-exile and later by the restored government after liberation in February 1991. Notes bearing serial prefix 52 fall directly into that category.
The invalidation created an unusual collector situation: the notes are genuine De La Rue printings, never fraudulent, but permanently demonetized through an act of war rather than routine withdrawal.
