| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown on white paper and centred on a large guilloche oval containing the fractional numeral '1/2' in bold letterpress. To its right, a decorative panel bears the bilingual denomination 'DINAR / 2 / DINAR' flanked by starburst ornaments, with a smaller inscription block below referencing convertibility under Law No. 44 of 1931. The heading 'GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ' runs across the top in serif capitals, and additional '1/2' numerals appear in the four corners within guilloche panels, with an empty oval watermark space at the right. |
