| Additional information |
The Twelfth Non-Aligned Movement Summit was held in Baghdad in 1982, a decision that proved acutely awkward — Iraq had been at war with Iran since September 1980, and NAM's founding principle was opposition to great-power military alliances, not active regional wars. Saddam Hussein nonetheless used the occasion aggressively for domestic and international legitimacy. This commemorative was part of that campaign.
Iraq issued several commemorative dinars through the late 1970s and early 1980s in nickel and silver, most in small quantities for collector and diplomatic distribution rather than general circulation.
