Reverse description The reverse displays an ornate central oval cartouche containing the denomination numeral '١٠' (10) above the word 'فلس' (Fils), all set within a decorative frame. Radiating from the central cartouche are elaborate calligraphic panels in the traditional Arabic script style, carrying the legend 'المملكة العراقية' (Kingdom of Iraq). The Hijri date '١٣٥٢' appears to the upper right and the Christian era date '١٩٣٣' to the upper left, flanking the central device. The overall composition is symmetrical and highly decorative, making full use of the scalloped twelve-notch coin shape to create a striking, wheel-like design with radiating inscribed sections.
