Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 100 Fils 1379 (1959-1960) coin from Iraq is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued in 1959, just a year after the Iraqi Revolution, which overthrew the monarchy and established a republic. The new government faced many challenges, including high inflation, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Iraqi dinar, in 1959. Despite these challenges, the 100 Fils coin remained in circulation until 1960, when it was replaced by the new currency. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic and political changes that were taking place in Iraq during that time.
