Coin set – Iraq

First complete set of coins after

Fall of Saddam Hussein

After the Gulf War, two very different currencies in value

circulated in Iraq: the so-called “Swiss dinar”

and Saddam Dinar. Eliminating Saddam

Hussein from power in 2003 led to

the introduction of a single currency again, on the stock exchange

ratio 1:1 to the Saddam dinar and 150:1 to the Swiss

dinar. This is a complete first set of new coins

Iraqi dinars. The obverse of the coins bears the name

central bank and denominations.

The reverses have a geographical depiction of Iraq with

the Euphrates and Tigris rivers and the year of minting

according to the Gregorian and Islamic calendars.
