| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a central composition featuring a tall lighthouse or minaret tower flanked by low-rise buildings and an oil derrick, set against a stylised sea rendered with wavy horizontal lines in the exergue area. Scales of justice are displayed prominently above the tower, symbolising equity and governance. A Quranic verse in Arabic script arcs across the upper legend, invoking divine blessing upon the land and its people. The dual dates '1961-2001' appear in both Arabic-Indic and Western numerals across the lower field, marking the span from Kuwait's independence to the commemorative year. The entire design is executed in high relief on a mirror-polished proof field. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kuwait's 40th National Day fell in 2001, marking four decades since independence from Britain in June 1961 — an independence that came just days before Iraq's Abdul Karim Qassim formally claimed Kuwait as Iraqi territory, triggering an immediate British military response and a crisis that foreshadowed the 1990 invasion. Commemorative gold issues from the Central Bank of Kuwait in this series were struck in limited quantities for presentation and collector purposes, rarely encountering circulation in any meaningful sense.
The .916 fineness places this squarely in the 22-karat standard long favored for Gulf state gold commemoratives.
