Interesting fact

The 250 Fils coin from Iraq, which was in circulation from 1980 to 1990, features a unique design on its reverse side. It depicts a stylized image of a ancient Mesopotamian temple, which is a nod to Iraq's rich cultural heritage and history. The temple is surrounded by a wreath of wheat, which symbolizes prosperity and abundance. This design was created by the Iraqi artist, Khudair al-Mu'alla, and it has become a distinctive feature of Iraqi coins.
