Comment
The Liberation of Kuwait was a U.S.-led military operation to retake Kuwait from Iraq after the massive air campaign, between 24–28 February 1991. U.S. troops and the Coalition entered to find the Iraqis surrendering en masse; however, pockets of resistance existed, particularly at Kuwait International Airport where Iraqi troops, seemingly unaware that a retreat order had been issued to them, continued to fight, resulting in a fierce battle over the airport itself. The majority of the fighting took place in Iraq, rather than Kuwait. The operation is part of what is commonly known as the Gulf War.Interesting fact
The 25 Dinars (Liberation Day) 2006 coin from Kuwait is a unique piece that commemorates the country's liberation from Iraq in 1991. The coin features a design that showcases the country's rich history and culture, with an image of the Kuwaiti flag and the map of Kuwait on one side, and the Emir of Kuwait, Sheikh Jaber Al-Ahmed Al-Sabah, on the other. The coin's silver content and weight also make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
