| Obverse description | The obverse features a predominantly typographic design executed in bold, decorative Arabic calligraphy set against a deeply mirrored proof field. At center, a raised circular medallion bears the Arabic numeral '١' (1) above the denomination inscription 'دينار' (Dinar). Surrounding this central device, large stylized Arabic lettering curves around the upper and lateral fields, reading 'الجمهورية العراقية' (Republic of Iraq). A commemorative legend in smaller Arabic script arcs across the lower field, recording the date '١٠ تشرين الأول ١٩٧٦' (October 10, 1976) and the occasion 'افتتاح مشروع قناة الثرثار-الفرات' (Opening of the Tharthar-Euphrates Canal Project). |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed perspective view of the Tharthar-Euphrates Canal hydraulic structure, rendered in fine relief against a mirror-polished proof field. The engineering work is depicted from an elevated angle, showing the canal intake gates, reinforced embankments with a cross-hatched revetment pattern, and the water channel receding into the distance. Above the central device, bold decorative Arabic calligraphy reads 'الزراعة نفط دائم' (Agriculture is permanent oil), with a secondary legend below reading 'الذكرى الأولى افتتاح مشروع قناة الثرثار-الفرات' (First Anniversary of the Opening of the Tharthar-Euphrates Canal Project). Along the lower exergue, the dual date '١٣٩٧هـ - ١٩٧٧مـ' appears in Eastern Arabic numerals, recording both the Hijri and Gregorian years. |
