Additional information

Kuwait's 1962 constitution — the one this coin commemorates — was suspended by the Amir in 1976 and again in 1986, the second time for over six years, before being restored under significant parliamentary and public pressure in 1992. The commemorative issue under Sabah IV therefore carries a quietly pointed political charge: a ruling house formally celebrating a document it has twice set aside.
