| Additional information |
Struck to commemorate the 1400th lunar anniversary of the Battle of al-Qadisiyyah, the 636 AD engagement in which Arab Muslim forces decisively defeated the Sasanian Empire and opened the Iranian plateau to Islamic expansion. Saddam Hussein's government made deliberate use of the historical parallel — invoking the battle's name as ideological framing for the Iran-Iraq War, which began the same year this coin was issued. The timing was not coincidental.
