| Beschrijving voorzijde | The national emblem of Kuwait occupies the central field, depicting the Hawk of Quraish with wings displayed, upon whose breast is superimposed the shield bearing the national flag design; the hawk supports a circular disk containing a traditional boom dhow sailing vessel in full profile. Below the emblem, a commemorative device comprising an oil pump jack flanked by two oil tankers at sea is rendered in relief, alluding to the occasion being commemorated. The legend around the upper field reads in Arabic the full name of the State of Kuwait, with the commemorative inscription in both Arabic and Latin scripts recording the dates 30 June 1946–1996 and the fifty-year anniversary of the export of Kuwait's first oil shipment. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Kuwait resumed oil exports in late 1991 after Iraqi forces, retreating from the Gulf War, set fire to over 700 Kuwaiti oil wells in one of the largest deliberate environmental catastrophes on record. The first post-liberation oil shipment became a politically significant moment, and this commemorative was issued years later to mark it — the delay between event and coin not unusual for Kuwait's commemorative program, which has often honored milestones retrospectively.
Struck to the same 28.28g/.925 standard shared by Commonwealth commemoratives of the period, it was almost certainly produced by a contracted European or British mint rather than domestically.
