Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 1,400th anniversary of the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, which took place in 637 CE during the Islamic conquest of Persia. The battle was a significant event in Islamic history and is considered one of the most important battles in the early years of Islam. The coin's design reflects this history, featuring an image of the battle on one side and the Iraqi coat of arms on the other.
