| Obverse description | Central design features the denomination '5' numerals in Arabic script within a beaded inner circle. The Arabic legend 'الكُوَيت' (Kuwait) arcs above the central device, while the English legend 'KUWAIT' is inscribed below, all within a raised rim. The inscriptions and numerals are rendered in a clean, modern typographic style characteristic of Kuwaiti coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a central motif of a traditional Kuwaiti boom dhow, a wooden sailing vessel, depicted in left profile under full sail with a small flag at the stern. The ship is rendered with fine detail, capturing the distinctive form of this historic Arabian Gulf trading vessel. Below the dhow, dual dates appear in Arabic script — the Islamic Hijri year '١٤٠٧' and the Gregorian year '١٩٨٧' — separated by a dash, all enclosed within a raised rim. |
