| Obverse description | Central to the design is the denomination numeral '50' in Eastern Arabic script, enclosed within a raised circle in the field. The legend 'الكويت' (Kuwait) arcs above the central circle in Arabic script, while the English transliteration 'KUWAIT' is inscribed below in Latin characters. The overall design is clean and geometric, consistent with the modernist aesthetic of Kuwaiti coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a finely detailed boom dhow, a traditional Arabian sailing vessel, depicted in left-facing profile under full sail with a small flag streaming from the stern mast. The rigging and hull lines are rendered with careful attention to nautical detail, evoking Kuwait's historic maritime heritage. Below the ship, the dual dating in Eastern Arabic numerals records both the Islamic Hijri year '١٤٠٧' and the Gregorian year '١٩٨٧', separated by a dash. |
