The building features the distinctive domed structure and fortress-like walls characteristic of Abbasid educational institutions. A date palm frond appears at upper right, symbolizing Iraq's agricultural heritage.

Back: Saddam Hussein (1937–2006), President of Iraq from 1979 to 2003. Portrait shows him in civilian attire with suit and tie. The Arabic inscription at top reads 'Central Bank of Iraq'.

The story

Background & history

This 25 Dinars note belongs to the fourth issue of Iraqi currency under Saddam Hussein's Ba'athist regime, printed during the period 2001–2003. The note shows the Hijri date 1422 (corresponding to 2001 CE). This series was issued during the final years of Hussein's rule, under international sanctions following the 1991 Gulf War. The currency suffered severe inflation during this period. Following the 2003 invasion and fall of the Ba'athist government, these notes were demonetized and replaced by a new Iraqi Dinar series issued by the Coalition Provisional Authority and subsequent Iraqi government. Notes from this series remain common as they were printed in large quantities but are no longer legal tender.
