Iraq's earliest national currency issue came just a year after the Kingdom formally achieved independence in 1932, though the series was prepared in anticipation of that transition while the British mandate was still technically in force. Bradbury Wilkinson, the New Malden firm responsible for a substantial share of colonial and post-colonial currency work throughout the Commonwealth, handled the full series under what were still effectively British administrative arrangements.
E. Hilton-Young's signature is the telling detail here — he chaired the commission that recommended Iraq adopt the gold dinar, directly shaping the currency structure he then authorized as a signatory.
