| Description de l’avers |
The obverse features a centrally placed raised circular cartouche enclosing the denomination numeral '١٠' (10) in Arabic above the Arabic word 'فلوس' (Fils), all set against a recessed field. The Arabic legend 'الكويت' (Kuwait) arcs across the upper field above the cartouche, while the Latin legend 'KUWAIT' curves along the lower periphery. The entire design is framed by a finely toothed milled border running around the full circumference of the coin. |

| Description du revers |
The reverse depicts a traditional Kuwaiti dhow sailing vessel rendered in fine detail at center, its multiple masts and rigging rising prominently against the open field, with stylized waves indicated beneath the hull. The dual date inscription appears in the lower field, presenting both the Hijri and Gregorian calendar years in Arabic numerals separated by a dash. A continuous toothed border encircles the entire design, consistent with the proof striking quality of this issue. |

Kuwait's silver circulation issues from this period weren't struck for everyday commerce — the base-metal fils handled that. These were produced primarily for sets and collector distribution through the Central Bank, a practice Kuwait maintained with unusual consistency across several decades. The .925 fineness is notably high for a small-denomination type, reflecting the CBK's preference for quality presentation pieces over bullion-grade shortcuts.
