Description
Produced by Bertoni of Milan, Italy, this official government-issued Kuwait Liberation Medal, Fourth Class, was established in 1991 to recognize members of the Coalition Forces who participated in the liberation of Kuwait during the Persian Gulf War. The set consists of the full-size medal, a matching service ribbon bar, and the original blue textured presentation box. The circular bronze-toned medal features the national emblem of Kuwait on the obverse, depicting a falcon with outspread wings supporting a shield with a traditional dhow. A small enamel shield in the national colors of Kuwait (green, white, red, and black) is positioned to the right of the emblem. Inscriptions in Arabic on the obverse read Wisam al-Tahrir (Liberation Medal) and 1991. The reverse shows a raised map of the State of Kuwait centered on a sunburst pattern. The medal is suspended from a tricolor ribbon of green, white, and red with a black trapezoid at the hoist, mirroring the Kuwaiti national flag. The interior of the presentation case lid is printed with the maker mark Bertoni Milano – Italy. The exterior of the case lid features gold-toned embossing of the medal emblem and Arabic text identifying the award as the Liberation Medal, Fourth Class.
