A 100 fils coin of Kuwait, 1961. Left D: 3.4 cm, Right D: 2.5 cm. Following the decline of European imperialism, freshly independent nations began to use symbols and images on their money that corresponded to their national identities. The state of Kuwait was a British protectorate from 1899 to 1961, when it gained independence. The image chosen for their coins and banknotes shows traditional boats, a reference to Kuwait as a seafaring nation.
