| Descripción del reverso |
Central motif depicts a Boom, a traditional Arabian dhow, sailing to the left with full sails set and a small flag at the stern on the right side. The vessel is rendered in fine relief with detailed rigging. Below the ship, the Islamic (Hijri) and Gregorian calendar years appear in Arabic numerals, separated by a dash, referencing the year of issue. The design is framed by the coin's milled rim, with the field left plain to emphasize the maritime subject. |

Kuwait shifted to brass-plated steel for its small-denomination fils coinage in the early 2010s as part of a broader regional move away from solid copper-nickel alloys, driven largely by the rising cost of base metals relative to face value. The magnetic property is the practical consequence of the steel core — not a design choice but an economic one.
KM#11c is the third compositional variant of a type that has remained visually unchanged since its introduction decades earlier, a deliberate continuity policy by the Central Bank during a period when neighboring Gulf states were overhauling their coinage programs entirely.
