| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large gilt appliqué at center, fashioned in high relief to resemble a classical Islamic gold dinar — its surface bearing multiple concentric bands of densely engraved Kufic and Naskh Arabic calligraphic inscriptions evoking early Abbasid coinage traditions, including the Shahada and honorific titles. The surrounding silver field is tiered with concentric raised rims, lending a deeply sculptural quality to the composition. An ornamental arabesque or floral device appears at the lower field beneath the appliqué. The commemorative English legend 'Commemorative Issue as the State of Kuwait, the Capital of Islamic Culture for the year 2016' curves along the upper rim, while the denomination '10 DINARS' and its Arabic equivalent 'عشرة دنانير' appear at the lower rim. |
