Iraq 1 dinar 1400th Anniversary of Hijra PR64 PCGS silver coin 1980

The Iraq 1 Dinar silver proof coin issued in 1980 (AH 1401) commemorates the 1400th Anniversary of the Hijra, one of the most significant events in Islamic history. The Hijra marks the migration of the Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 AD, an event that established the foundation of the Islamic community and the beginning of the Islamic calendar.

The obverse features a modern artistic composition centered on the Arabic numeral “1400,” elegantly intertwined with flowing calligraphic lines. Architectural elements, including a mosque minaret and a stylized geometric structure, symbolize Islamic civilization, faith, and cultural continuity. Arabic inscriptions and the Hijri and Gregorian dates complete the design. The reverse displays the denomination within a central field surrounded by an ornate circular band of Arabic calligraphy. The intricate script forms a decorative border, creating a striking balance between religious symbolism and numismatic artistry.

Struck in silver with a Proof finish and certified PR64 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this commemorative issue showcases brilliant mirrored fields and frosted design elements. Celebrating a milestone of Islamic heritage, it appeals to collectors of Middle Eastern coinage, religious themes, Islamic history, and modern commemorative silver issues. A meaningful and visually distinctive addition to any world coin collection.
