| Obverse description | Central raised circle in the field bears the Arabic numeral '١' (1) above the denomination 'دينار' (Dinar). Flanking the central circle on either side are two symmetrical arabesque ornamental devices. A multi-line Arabic legend arcs across the upper field reading 'الجمهوريه العراقيه' (Iraqi Republic), while the lower field bears a curved inscription citing the dual date '١٣٩٠هـ-١٩٧١مـ' and the commemorative legend 'يوبيل الجيش العراقي الذهبي' (Golden Jubilee of the Iraqi Army). The entire design is enclosed within a toothed border. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of the Iraqi Army, founded in 1921 under the British Mandate. The coin was produced while Iraq was navigating the aftermath of the Ba'ath Party's consolidation of power following the 1968 coup — a period when commemorative silver issues served the regime's broader project of constructing national institutional legitimacy.
KM#133 is not a rare type, but surviving examples in genuinely uncirculated condition are less common than mintage figures suggest, likely due to inconsistent storage practices in the region during the 1970s.
