Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse features the commemorative logo for the 15th Century of the Hijra calendar, composed of the Arabic numeral '15' artistically integrated with a depiction of the Kaaba in the centre-right and a minaret to the left, with a sweeping calligraphic flourish unifying the composition. Below the central motif, a Quranic verse from Surah Al-Anbiya (21:92) in ornate Arabic calligraphic script reads: 'Verily this Brotherhood of yours is a single Brotherhood.' The legend 'Al-Qarn 15 H.' (The 15th Century of Hijra) appears at lower left in Arabic, accompanied by the bilingual inscription '15th C.H.' in Latin script.

Aanvullende informatie

Issued to commemorate the 1,400th anniversary of the Islamic Hijra calendar, this coin was produced under the Ba'athist government at a moment when Saddam Hussein — formally elevated to the presidency just the year before — was actively using state resources to project legitimacy both domestically and abroad. The Hijra anniversary provided a politically convenient framework for a regime keen to present itself as a guardian of Islamic heritage despite its secular foundations.

Iraq invaded Iran just months after this coin's release, and subsequent international sanctions effectively ended commemorative gold program continuity for years.
