| Obverse description | Central design features a stylised depiction of the historic Qal'at al-Kuwait (Kuwait Fort) rendered in relief, with a flagpole bearing the Kuwaiti flag rising from its battlements. Superimposed below the fort is the large numeral '40' in bold relief, commemorating the fortieth anniversary of Kuwaiti independence. A beaded inner border frames the design, while the surrounding legend, inscribed in both Arabic and Latin scripts, reads 'State of Kuwait' and 'The 40th Anniversary of the National Day of the State of Kuwait' along the upper arc, and 'Central Bank of Kuwait' along the lower arc in both Arabic and English. |
