Interesting fact
The 10 Fils - Ghazi I 1356-1357 (1937-1938) coin from Hashemite Kingdom (Iraq) is interesting because it features a unique blend of traditional Islamic design and modernist influences. The coin's obverse features an image of King Ghazi I, while the reverse features a stylized representation of the Al-Khilafah Al-Rashidun (Rashidun Caliphate) mosque in Baghdad, which was built during the king's reign. The use of a modernist style for the mosque's representation reflects the influence of European art and architecture on Iraqi coinage design during this period. This blending of traditional and modern elements makes the coin a fascinating example of the cultural and artistic exchanges that took place in the region during the early 20th century.
