Iraq 1 dinar 25th Anniversary of Central Bank MS67 PCGS silver coin 1972

The Iraq 1 Dinar silver commemorative coin issued in 1972 (AH 1392) was struck to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Central Bank of Iraq, commemorating a significant milestone in the country’s modern financial history. The Central Bank played a key role in establishing monetary stability and supporting economic development during the formative decades of the Iraqi Republic, making this issue an important historical and numismatic tribute.

The obverse features an elegant depiction of a date palm grove, one of Iraq’s most recognizable national symbols. Three finely engraved palm trees dominate the scene, with the tallest tree positioned at the center and two smaller palms on either side. Detailed fronds, textured trunks, cultivated soil, and dense rows of palms in the background create a realistic agricultural landscape. Arabic numerals representing the anniversary year appear alongside the design. The reverse displays the denomination “1 Dinar” within a circular central medallion. Surrounding it is a ring of flowing Arabic inscriptions commemorating the Central Bank’s silver jubilee, accompanied by Hijri and Gregorian dates, ornamental calligraphy, decorative lettering, and a finely denticulated border.

Struck in silver and certified MS67 by PCGS, this superb gem-quality example exhibits outstanding luster, sharp strike characteristics, and exceptional preservation. Combining themes of banking, national identity, and Iraq’s agricultural heritage, this commemorative issue is a highly desirable addition to collections of Middle Eastern and world silver coinage.
