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
One interesting fact about the Kuwaiti 25 Dinars (Liberation Day; gilt) 2006 coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 15th anniversary of Kuwait's liberation from Iraqi occupation, which took place on February 28, 1991. The coin's design features the Kuwaiti flag and the map of Kuwait, along with the dates "1991-2006" and the inscription "Liberation Day" in both Arabic and English. The use of gold plating on the coin adds an extra layer of elegance and significance to the design, making it a unique and valuable collector's item.
