Kuwait Quarter Dinar Banknote (1968-1991 Series)

This item is a 1/4 (Quarter) Dinar banknote issued by the Central Bank of Kuwait, likely belonging to the third series issued between 1968 and the Iraqi invasion in 1990. The note is rectangular, primarily composed of high-quality paper with security features characteristic of modern currency. The central illustration on this side features a group of Kuwaiti girls playing a traditional game, rendered in a sepia-toned brown ink. The text 'Central Bank of Kuwait' is prominent at the top center, accompanied by the inscription 'We Seek God's Assistance.' The denomination '1/4' is clearly marked in the corners. Structurally, the note displays intricate geometric bordering and guilloche patterns in shades of blue, orange, and tan, which serve as anti-counterfeiting measures. Regarding its condition, the note appears to be in relatively clean, crisp condition with sharp edges and no obvious heavy creasing or tearing visible from the front view, though minor handling wear is expected of circulated currency. The craftsmanship reflects the formal standards of De La Rue or typical state printing houses of that era, utilizing multi-layered offset and intaglio printing techniques. This specific design aesthetic was phased out in the early 1990s following the liberation of Kuwait, making it a piece of late 20th-century historical currency.
