| Additional information |
Kuwait's circulating coinage has never been struck in silver for general use — this is a proof or collector issue, part of the Central Bank's long-running series of presentation sets rather than anything that saw a till or a pocket. The KM#9a designation distinguishes it from the base-metal circulation type, the two sharing identical design parameters but separated entirely by purpose and audience.
