1 Fils Silver

Obverse description	Central to the obverse is the denomination '1 Fils' rendered in Arabic numerals (١ فلس), enclosed within a circular border. The state name 'Kuwait' appears in Arabic script (الكُوَيت) above the central circle and in Latin script (KUWAIT) below, forming a bilingual legend encircling the design in the field.

Reverse description	The reverse features a boom, a traditional Arabian dhow, depicted in profile sailing to the left with sails unfurled and a small flag flying from the stern on the right side. The vessel is rendered with fine detail characteristic of Kuwait's maritime heritage. Below the ship, the dual dating appears in Arabic script, presenting both the Islamic Hijri year and the corresponding Gregorian year, separated by a dash.

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.
