Iraq 25 fils Brick Wall Lion PR69 PCGS CuNi coin 1982

The Iraq 25 Fils coin of 1982 (AH 1402), certified PCGS PR69 Deep Cameo, is an exceptional proof issue that celebrates the rich artistic and historical heritage of ancient Mesopotamia. Struck in copper-nickel with remarkable proof quality, this coin features one of the most recognizable symbols of Babylonian culture—the majestic lion associated with the ancient city of Babylon.

The reverse presents a detailed walking lion rendered in profile against a stylized brick wall background. The design evokes the famous glazed-brick reliefs of ancient Babylon, with carefully engraved masonry blocks forming a textured architectural backdrop. Arabic numerals displaying the date 1982 and AH 1402 appear above the lion, while a finely beaded border frames the scene. The obverse features the denomination 25 Fils within a central circle, surrounded by elegant Arabic inscriptions, official state legends, decorative calligraphy, and the national motto. Additional ornamental script, numerals, and a denticle rim enhance the coin’s refined appearance.

The Babylonian lion has long symbolized strength, power, and the enduring legacy of one of the world’s earliest civilizations. Graded PR69 DCAM by PCGS, this near-perfect proof coin offers superb mirrored fields and frosted design elements, making it a standout piece for collectors of Iraqi coinage, ancient history themes, and world numismatics.
