The Iraq 1 Dinar silver commemorative coin issued in 1972 (AH 1392) marks the 25th Anniversary of the Central Bank of Iraq, celebrating a quarter century of the institution responsible for the nation’s monetary policy and financial stability. This attractive proof issue combines symbolic national imagery with elegant Arabic calligraphy, creating a memorable tribute to Iraq’s economic development.

The obverse features a beautifully detailed grove of date palms, a symbol closely associated with Iraq’s fertile river valleys and agricultural heritage. Three palm trees dominate the composition, with the tallest tree at the center surrounded by two smaller palms. Intricately engraved fronds, textured trunks, cultivated soil, and a dense line of palms in the background form a realistic landscape scene. The commemorative year appears in Arabic numerals beside the design. The reverse displays the denomination “1 Dinar” within a circular central panel. Around it is a ring of ornate Arabic inscriptions commemorating the Central Bank’s twenty-fifth anniversary, accompanied by Hijri and Gregorian dates, decorative calligraphy, and a finely detailed denticle border.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish and certified PR62 by PCGS, this commemorative issue represents an important chapter in Iraq’s financial history. Its combination of historical significance, national symbolism, and elegant engraving makes it an appealing addition to collections of Middle Eastern, banking, and world silver coins.
