I don't see a denomination (unless it's in Arabic somewhere), so I would call it a commemorative medal. That's as much as I can tell by looking at it. I'll do some web searches later today.

Not sure of value, but here is a link with just a little bit more info. Found some auction history on the gold piece they issued along side the silver piece, but not this one at the moment.

The Arabic lettering says the same as the English, so there's no denomination. It's interesting that most of the other commems they offer aren't denominated, either. I saw a few that said 2 dinars (about $7), but that's it.

It is listed in 'Unusual World Coins' under Kuwait as X-5 , a 5 Dinars piece containing .8410 of an ounce of silver and estimated at $60 in Proof.

Not bad if you can still buy them from the bank for KD 6, which is less than $30.
