| Obverse description | Right-facing effigy of Sheikh Sabah IV Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah, rendered in high relief against a plain field. Below the portrait, a two-line Arabic legend records the occasion and date of the tenth anniversary of his proclamation as Emir, followed by the Arabic date 29 January 2016. The composition is formal and commemorative in character, with the ruler's likeness dominating the upper portion of the flan. |

| Additional information |
Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah ascended to power in January 2006 following the National Assembly's removal of his predecessor, Sheikh Saad, on grounds of incapacity — the first such parliamentary intervention in Kuwaiti history. The 2016 commemorative marks a decade of his rule, issued as Kuwait's oil revenues were beginning their sharp contraction following the 2014 crude price collapse. Commemorative silver from the Central Bank of Kuwait appears infrequently enough that KM#45 has a limited collector base outside the Gulf states.
