1981 Kuwaiti 100 Dinar 20th Anniversary of Independence

Issued to commemorate the 20th anniversary of independence of Kuwait on the 25th February 1981.

Brief Kuwaiti History

Kuwait is said to have been founded in 1613, the word Kuwait from Kout meaning small castle. Kuwait City dates from 1740 having been settled by tribesmen from Qatar. In 1899 Sheik Mabarak asked the British for protection, fearing a Turkish takeover. This lasted until 1961 when Britain ended its Protectorate, but made guarantees about Kuwait's defence.
In 1990, Kuwait was invaded by Iraq, but its independence was reinstated by an international coalition, and Kuwait City was liberated on 27th February 1991.

Kuwaiti Gold Coins

Kuwait issued its first coins in 1961, but did not issue any gold coins until 1981, since when a number of different commemorative issued have been released.
Kuwaiti gold coins are denominated in Dinars.
