10 Fils coin Kuwait

10 Fils Kuwait (Issued 1961)

The 10 fils is part of Kuwait’s first national coinage, introduced in 1961 after independence, when the fils and dinar replaced the Gulf rupee. This piece is struck in golden nickel-brass, with a plain edge and a warm yellow tone, sitting among the lower values of the series in which one thousand fils equal one Kuwaiti dinar.

On the obverse, the value is displayed at the centre within a plain circle, the Eastern Arabic numeral “١٠” set above the Arabic word “فلس” (fils). An Arabic legend naming the State of Kuwait curves across the top of the coin, while “KUWAIT” is inscribed in Latin capitals along the lower rim, framed by a beaded border.

On the reverse, a traditional Kuwaiti dhow sails on the sea, its tall masts, spars and rigging finely engraved as an emblem of the nation’s maritime and pearl-diving past. Beneath the hull the paired dates appear in Eastern Arabic numerals, “١٩٦١” and “١٣٨٠”, giving the year 1961 alongside its Islamic (AH 1380) equivalent.
