| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely detailed depiction of a traditional Arabian dhow under full sail, shown in left profile sailing on stylised waves that occupy the lower portion of the field. The vessel's rigging, masts, and hull are rendered with considerable artisanal detail, evoking Kuwait's historic maritime and pearling heritage. Below the ship in the lower field, the dual date legend appears in Arabic-Eastern numerals, giving both the Islamic Hijri year and the Christian Gregorian year separated by a dash. A uniform toothed border frames the entire design at the rim. |
