| Reverse description | The reverse features a boom, a traditional Kuwaiti dhow-type sailing vessel, depicted in left profile with sails fully rigged and a small flag flying from a staff on the right side. The ship is rendered in fine detail, evoking Kuwait's historic maritime heritage. Below the vessel, the dual dating appears in Arabic script, presenting both the Islamic Hijri year and the corresponding Gregorian year separated by a dash. The dates vary by year of issue, reflecting the respective proof set of each mintage. The design occupies the central field with the date legend positioned in the lower exergue area. |
