The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field is almost certainly a database artifact — De La Rue's Gateshead facility did not exist in that form in 1945, and the Central Bank of Iraq was not established until 1947. This note belongs to the final series issued under Saddam Hussein's government before the 2003 invasion, a period when Iraq was operating under severe UN sanctions that had already compressed the purchasing power of the dinar to a fraction of its pre-1990 value.

De La Rue printed Iraqi notes throughout much of the Baathist period. The watermark remains the primary security feature — relatively modest by early-2000s standards, which reflects both the sanctions environment and the note's domestic-use context.
