Central to the design, the denomination '100 Fils' is rendered in Arabic numerals and script within a raised inner circle. The state name 'Kuwait' appears in Arabic above the circle in a curved legend, and in Latin script below. The field is plain, with the inscriptions serving as the primary decorative elements in a clean, formal typographic composition. |

A traditional Kuwaiti boom dhow — a large lateen-rigged sailing vessel — is depicted in profile sailing to the left, with rigging details and a small flag visible on the right. The design captures the vessel's distinctive high stern and curved hull, evoking Kuwait's historic maritime heritage. Below the ship, the dual dating in Arabic script presents both the Islamic Hijri year and the Gregorian year, separated by a dash. |

The 1987 date places this piece two years before Iraq's invasion, after which the Central Bank's operations were suspended entirely and its reserves became a direct target of the occupation government.
Postliberation repatriation of Kuwaiti monetary assets in 1991 was a protracted legal and diplomatic affair involving frozen accounts across multiple jurisdictions.
