Iraq 1 dinar Hijra Hegira Kaaba Mosque Minaret Islam PR63 PCGS silver coin 1980

The Iraq 1 Dinar silver proof coin issued in 1980 (AH 1401) commemorates the Hijra (Hegira), the historic migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina, an event that marks the beginning of the Islamic calendar and remains one of the most important milestones in Islamic history. Certified by PCGS as PR63DCAM, this attractive Deep Cameo proof issue combines religious symbolism with elegant modern design.

The reverse features a striking composition centered on sacred Islamic architecture. A tall minaret rises beside a domed mosque, while the Kaaba is depicted as a geometric cube at the heart of the design. Flowing textured lines curve around these elements, symbolizing movement, faith, and the spiritual journey of the Hijra. Arabic inscriptions and the word “Hijra” appear alongside the architectural motifs. The obverse displays the denomination “1 Dinar” within a central circular field, surrounded by concentric bands of finely engraved Arabic calligraphy. Additional commemorative inscriptions, decorative flourishes, ornamental motifs, and the date 1980 complete the design, all framed by brilliant proof surfaces.

Struck in silver with a Deep Cameo proof finish and certified PCGS PR63DCAM, this coin is a meaningful collectible for enthusiasts of Islamic history, religious themes, Middle Eastern culture, and world commemorative coinage.
