Interesting fact

The coin's design incorporates this monument in a striking way, with the lion's head and body depicted in detail on the obverse side of the coin, surrounded by intricate patterns and designs. This coin is a fascinating piece of numismatic history that not only showcases the rich cultural heritage of Iraq but also serves as a reminder of the country's rich history and traditions.
