| Reverse description | The reverse displays a finely detailed rendering of a traditional Kuwaiti dhow under full sail, depicted in three-quarter view with multiple masts, billowing lateen sails, and rigging rendered in sharp relief. The vessel rides stylized waves in the lower portion of the field, evoking Kuwait's historic seafaring and pearl-diving heritage. A small flag is visible at the stern. Below the ship, the dual date legend '١٩٨٧ - ١٤٠٧' appears in Eastern Arabic numerals, presenting both the Gregorian and Hijri calendar years respectively. The proof surfaces display exceptional detail and depth throughout the design. |
