50 Dinars 35th National Day

Kuwait's 35th National Day fell in 1996, marking independence from Britain originally declared on June 19, 1961 — though the date commemorated on these issues follows the later February 25 National Day convention established after independence. The Central Bank issued this piece as part of a long-running commemorative gold series that began in the early 1980s, with individual issues now tracking closely against both collector demand and bullion value given the .916 fineness.
