Iraq 1 dinar Hussein Iraqi Army Air Forces Plane Jet PR64 PCGS nickel coin 1981

The Iraq 1 Dinar Air Force commemorative coin issued in 1981 is a remarkable numismatic tribute to Iraqi military aviation and national defense. Struck in nickel and certified PR64 Deep Cameo by PCGS, this proof issue combines historical symbolism, military themes, and attractive craftsmanship in a distinctive polygonal format. It commemorates the achievements and development of the Iraqi Air Force, an important branch of the nation’s armed forces.

The reverse features a detailed portrait of Saddam Hussein in military attire, positioned at the center of the design. Above the portrait appears the Iraqi eagle with outspread wings, a powerful national emblem. Flanking the portrait are two aircraft representing different eras of aviation: a sleek modern jet on one side and a classic propeller-driven airplane on the other. Laurel branches curve around the lower rim, joined by a ribbon bearing Arabic inscriptions, while commemorative dates complete the military-themed composition. The obverse displays the denomination “1 Dinar” within a circular central panel surrounded by Arabic legends, inscriptions identifying the Republic of Iraq and the Iraqi Air Force, decorative calligraphy, and the dual date 1981–1981 AH. Fine beading along the border enhances the elegant proof finish.

Certified PCGS PR64DCAM, this collectible coin is highly desirable for enthusiasts of military history, aviation, Middle Eastern numismatics, and modern commemorative coinage.
