Comment
The years on the reverse stand for the Battle of Qadisiyyah in 1400, a decisive battle between the Arab Muslim army and the Sassanid Persian army during the first period of Muslim expansion that was won by the Arabs and the Iraq-Iran war (1980-1988).Interesting fact
The Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, which is depicted on the coin, was a significant event in Islamic history that took place in 637 CE. It was a decisive victory for the Muslim army led by the Prophet Muhammad's cousin and companion, Sa`d ibn Abi Waqqas, over the Sassanid Empire, which was then the dominant power in the region. The battle marked the beginning of the Muslim conquest of Persia and paved the way for the spread of Islam in the region. It's worth noting that the coin was issued in 1980 to commemorate the 1400th anniversary of the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, which is why it features an image of the battle on one side and the Iraqi coat of arms on the other.
