| Obverse description | Central field bears the denomination '5 Dinars' (٥ دَنانير) in Arabic numerals and script, enclosed within a beaded or plain circle. The legend 'إمَارَة الكُوَيت' (Emirate of Kuwait) arcs above the central device in Arabic script, while the English inscription 'KUWAIT' appears below the circle in Latin characters. The overall design is stark and heraldic, relying entirely on inscriptions without figurative imagery. |

| Reverse description | Central motif depicts a boom, a traditional Arabian dhow-type sailing vessel, shown in profile sailing to the left under full sail, with a small flag flying from a spar on the right side. Below the ship, two dates are inscribed in Arabic numerals: the Islamic Hijri year ١٣٨٠ (1380 AH) and the Gregorian year ١٩٦١ (1961 CE), separated by a dash, occupying the lower field. The composition evokes Kuwait's historic maritime and pearl-diving heritage. |
