Interesting fact
The 50 Fils 1378 (1959) coin from Iraq was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in the country. The coin was issued during the reign of King Faisal II, who was the last king of Iraq before the monarchy was overthrown in 1958. The coin's design features the king's portrait on one side and the national emblem of Iraq on the other, which includes a falcon and the words "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great) in Arabic. Despite its silver content, the coin was not widely used in circulation and is now considered a rare collector's item.
