This series bridges the final months of relative Ba'athist economic stability and the opening phase of the Iran-Iraq War, which began in September 1980. War spending put immediate pressure on Iraq's monetary system, but the physical notes themselves — printed by De La Rue — show no wartime austerity in production quality.

The three-year date range reflects reissue across multiple print runs rather than a single emission, with minor differences in signature combinations distinguishing them for specialist collectors.
