10 Dinars

Kuwait's first independent central bank series launched in 1960, but the P#10 belongs to the second issue — a post-1968 revision that coincided with Kuwait's growing assertiveness over its oil revenues and the push toward full nationalization of KOC that would culminate in 1975. Bradbury Wilkinson, printing from their New Malden facility, were the dominant choice for Gulf state currency throughout this period, handling notes for several newly independent issuers simultaneously.

The series ran an unusually long print life — over a decade — which means date variation and signature combinations matter considerably to specialists. At least four signature pairings are documented across the issue.
