5 Dinars 55th National Day, gilt

Kuwait's National Day commemoratives have been issued with regularity since the early 1960s, but the 55th anniversary fell in 2016 under conditions of sharply depressed oil revenues — the state budget had swung to a deficit for the first time in over fifteen years. The gilt silver variant of this issue exists alongside a standard silver release, the KM#47a designation distinguishing it specifically by its gold plating rather than any change in the underlying fabric.
