| Aanvullende informatie |
Ghazi I died in April 1939 — just months after this coin entered circulation — in a car crash at his palace that much of Iraq refused to believe was accidental. He had been broadcasting pan-Arab and anti-British propaganda from a private radio transmitter, and suspicion fell immediately on British interests. The coins bearing his effigy thus had an unusually short reign as a current issue before his four-year-old son Faisal II succeeded under a British-aligned regency.
The "a" suffix on this type denotes the copper-nickel composition, distinguishing it from the earlier bronze issue (KM#103).
