Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Mustansiriya Madrasah in Baghdad, one of the oldest Islamic universities in the world. Built in 1227 CE (623 AH) during the Abbasid Caliphate under Caliph al-Mustansir, it served as a center of Islamic learning and education for centuries. The madrasah represents Iraq's historical role as a center of scholarship and civilization in the medieval Islamic world, featuring distinctive Islamic architectural elements with arched iwans and decorative brickwork around a central courtyard.
Back: Saddam Hussein (1937-2006), President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. He led Iraq through the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) and the Gulf War (1990-1991); his image appeared on Iraqi currency throughout his rule as part of a personality cult. The vignette shows a romanticized scene of mounted horsemen, evoking historical Arabian cavalry and military themes that were prominent in Ba'athist iconography during his regime.

Background & history
This note belongs to the third issue of Iraqi dinars under Saddam Hussein's regime, circulated from 1986 to 1990. The series was printed during and after the Iran-Iraq War. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq and the fall of Saddam Hussein's government, these notes were demonetized and replaced by a new currency series that removed his portrait. Notes from this era featuring Saddam Hussein are now collectible artifacts of the Ba'athist period. The 25 dinar denomination was a mid-range note during this period of relative currency stability before the severe devaluation that followed the 1991 Gulf War and subsequent sanctions.
