Obverse description	The obverse centres on a raised bronze insert depicting an enlarged rendition of the original 1886 Kuwaiti Pice coin (AH 1304), bearing Arabic legends and a beaded border, set within the gold-plated silver field. Surrounding the central insert, an Arabic commemorative legend curves around the upper portion of the field, reading the full commemorative inscription marking the 130th anniversary of the first Kuwaiti currency coin. The date span '١٨٨٦-٢٠١٦' (1886–2016) is inscribed along the left side of the field. At the lower portion of the obverse, the State of Kuwait emblem — a falcon bearing a shield with a traditional dhow — appears centrally flanked by the legends 'STATE OF KUWAIT' in Latin script to its left and 'دَولة الكُويت' in Arabic to its right.
