Bradbury Wilkinson printed this series during a period when Iraq was consolidating Ba'athist control following the 1968 coup — the Central Bank had replaced the earlier Iraq Currency Board framework, and reissuing notes through established British security printers was the practical path while domestic printing infrastructure remained undeveloped. Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility handled a significant portion of Middle Eastern government contracts through this period, and Iraqi notes from the late 1960s and early 1970s show the firm's characteristically clean intaglio work.
The watermark is the sole security feature — modest even by 1971 standards.
