Vorderseitenbeschreibung At right, an intaglio-engraved circular vignette contains a portrait of the young King Faisal II as a child, set within an elaborate guilloche framework that fills the face of the note. The central panel carries Arabic text stating the denomination and statutory convertibility inscription, with 'Baghdad' inscribed below; two manuscript signatures appear at lower centre. The note number is printed twice in the upper and lower margins, flanking the main design field.

Anmerkungen

Iraq's wartime administration under British occupation issued this note through the Government of Iraq rather than the National Bank, a deliberate arrangement that kept currency issuance under direct administrative control during a politically unstable period. The 1941 Rashid Ali coup and the subsequent Anglo-Iraqi War had made London acutely conscious of fiscal leverage in the region.

Bradbury Wilkinson's New Malden facility handled production, as it did for a substantial portion of British colonial and mandate-adjacent currency during the war years. The 100 Dinar denomination was effectively a high-value instrument in a country where most transactions ran far lower — circulation at this level was narrow.
