| Reverse description | Central motif depicts a boom dhow — a traditional Arabian sailing vessel — shown in left-facing profile under full sail, with a small pennant flying from the stern. The vessel's rigging and hull are rendered in fine detail, evoking Kuwait's historic maritime and pearling heritage. Below the ship, the dual dating appears in Arabic numerals: the Hijri year '١٣٨٠' and the Gregorian year '١٩٦١', separated by a dash. The overall composition is well-balanced within a plain, unbordered field. |
