| Obverse description | Central design features a stylized mountain range with a rayed sun rising above the peaks, all enclosed within a circular border. A Kurdish flag is depicted draped over the rightmost peak. The legend 'DEWLETA KURDISTANÊ' arcs along the upper field in Latin script, while the Arabic script legend 'دولتی کوردستان' is inscribed along the lower field. Two small lozenge ornaments flank the central motif at the mid-horizon line. |

| Additional information |
Kurdistan has no internationally recognized monetary authority and has never issued legal tender coinage — this piece is a fantasy issue, produced outside any governmental mandate. Items cataloged under Krause's "X" numbers occupy a deliberately ambiguous space: not official, not counterfeit, but commercially produced tokens marketed toward collectors interested in stateless or aspirational national identities. The 2003 date places this squarely in the period immediately following the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, when Kurdish political autonomy briefly dominated international headlines.
