Beschrijving keerzijde	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.

Aanvullende informatie	Kuwait's gold coinage program of the 1980s was tied directly to the emirate's sovereign wealth strategy — physical gold issues were produced in limited quantities for collectors and as diplomatic presentation pieces rather than any circulating purpose. The 1987 date places this squarely in the period before the Iraqi invasion of August 1990, after which the Central Bank's operations were forcibly suspended and significant quantities of Kuwaiti assets — including bullion reserves — were looted by Iraqi forces. The .9167 fineness is the traditional 22-karat standard, the same alloy used in British sovereigns.
