| Obverse description | Central to the obverse is the denomination '20 Fils' rendered in Arabic numerals and script within a raised circle, forming the primary design focus of the field. The legend 'الكويت' (Kuwait) in Arabic script arches above the central circle, while the English transliteration 'KUWAIT' is inscribed below in Latin characters. The overall design is clean and geometric, consistent with the standardized coinage style of the Central Bank of Kuwait. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed depiction of a boom, a traditional Arabian dhow-type sailing vessel, shown in full sail and navigating to the left with billowing sails. A small flag is depicted at the stern on the right side of the vessel, adding authenticity to the maritime subject. Below the ship, the dual dating is inscribed in Arabic numerals, presenting both the Islamic Hijri year and the Gregorian year in correspondence, as was standard practice for Kuwaiti coinage of this period. |
