This note belongs to the series rushed into production after Iraq's 1990 invasion rendered the existing Kuwaiti currency effectively worthless — Iraqi authorities had stripped the country of its banknote stocks and, for a period, circulated the Kuwaiti dinar illegally at artificial rates. When liberation came in February 1991, Kuwait needed a functioning currency immediately, and the pre-arranged De La Rue printing made rapid reintroduction possible.
The entire series was later demonetized in 1991 itself as part of a deliberate strategy to invalidate notes looted during the occupation — this "fourth issue" had a remarkably short official window.
