Anyone seen this coin and have and Idea of worth???

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.

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.
