| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a detailed scenic composition of three tall date palm trees in full frond, bearing clusters of fruit, set against a stylised landscape with rows of smaller palms and ground cover rendered in fine relief. The Hijri year '١٣٩٦' appears to the left of the field and the Gregorian year '١٩٧٦' to the right, both inscribed in Arabic-Indic numerals flanking the palm grove composition. |

| Additional information |
In 1975–1976, Iraq undertook a recoinage study examining whether to shift its subsidiary circulation from the existing scallop-edged 10 fils to a plain round flan. The round format was ultimately rejected, and the scalloped design already in production since 1967 was retained. Pattern survivors like this nickel strike represent internal Mint and Central Bank evaluation pieces — almost certainly produced in very small numbers and never submitted for public circulation approval.
