| Obverse description | Central field features a raised circular incuse containing the denomination numeral '١٠' (10) in Eastern Arabic script above the Arabic word 'فلوس' (Fils), all within a plain raised ring. The Arabic legend 'الكويت' (Kuwait) arcs along the upper periphery in bold calligraphic script, while the Latin legend 'KUWAIT' is inscribed along the lower periphery in widely spaced serif capital letters. The entire design is framed by a continuous beaded border, and the mirrored proof fields exhibit a deeply frosted relief against a brilliant polished background. |

| Reverse description | The central field depicts a finely detailed traditional Kuwaiti dhow sailing vessel rendered in three-quarter profile, its multiple masts carrying billowing lateen sails and rigging rendered with great precision. A small flag is visible at the bow, and the hull sits upon stylized wave forms conveying motion. Below the vessel, two date lines in Eastern Arabic numerals are inscribed across the lower field: the Gregorian year '١٩٨٧' above and the Hijri year '١٤٠٧' to the right, separated by a dash. The design is enclosed within a continuous beaded border, with deeply mirrored proof fields accentuating the sculptural relief of the ship. |
