1 Dinar

This is the post-liberation series, issued after Kuwait reasserted control following the Iraqi occupation of 1990–91. During the occupation, the Iraqi government forcibly replaced Kuwaiti dinars with Iraqi dinars at a coercive one-to-one rate, stripping the currency of its function entirely. Upon liberation, Kuwait voided all notes of the previous series with minimal notice — a deliberate move to render worthless any currency that had been looted or transferred to Iraq in bulk.

P#19 belongs to the entirely new series commissioned specifically to replace those invalidated notes, with Thomas De La Rue handling production as they had for earlier Kuwaiti issues.
