Head of Kuwait Olympic committee. But Olympics were never held in Kuwait so not sure what this would be given for. It weighs 240 grams. Circumference is shown in photos fits just inside a normal red solo cup rim!Again not sure what it's made of either. Got it at an estate sale and the woman that died was a nurse and lived in Saudi Arabia.. thanks for all the help. Report this Post to the Staff

Kushanshah Pillar of the Community United States 1554 Posts	Posted 04/01/2019 8:58 pm It seems to be a medal commemorating Shaykh Fahad al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah of Kuwait who was the founder of the Kuwait Olympic Committee and who was killed in battle during the 1990 invasion of Kuwait by Iraq. The line below the portait reads al-Shahid al-Shaykh Fahad al-Ahmed al-Jaber al-Sabah. Al-Shahid means "the Martyr". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahad...ber_Al-Sabah Edited by Kushanshah 04/01/2019 10:52 pm Report this Post to the Staff
