| Reverse description | Central design features a high-relief frosted scene set within a large circular cartouche, depicting a group of figures on what appears to be a traditional Kuwaiti sailing vessel, evoking themes of liberation and national pride. The cartouche is surrounded by an elaborate border of deeply engraved Arabic calligraphic scrollwork incorporating Quranic verses. The legend 'CENTRAL BANK OF KUWAIT' arcs across the top in Latin characters, with the Arabic 'بنك الكويت المركزي' mirroring it on the opposite side. The date '26 February 2006' appears in both Latin and Arabic numerals within the upper portion of the central field. The overall design combines figurative and calligraphic elements in a highly artistic composition characteristic of commemorative issues from this institution. |
