The Iraq Currency Board was a British-administered body established under the terms of the 1931 Iraqi Dinar Law, which tied the new dinar to sterling at a fixed one-to-one parity. This note was issued just as Iraq was preparing for formal independence — the British Mandate ended in October 1932, meaning notes from this 1931 series circulated into a country that had technically become sovereign before the series was retired.
Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility was the dominant supplier of colonial and mandate currency for British-administered territories throughout this period. Hilton-Young, one of the signatories here, chaired the 1925 commission that recommended East Africa adopt a gold-standard currency — his name on Iraqi paper is a reminder of how few individuals administered British monetary policy across an enormous geographic spread.
