Two ornate Islamic geometric cartouches flank the central circle in the left and right fields. The upper legend in flowing Arabic script reads 'الجمهورية العراقية' (Republic of Iraq), while the lower legend reads 'السنة الدولية للطفل' (International Year of the Child), flanking the official IYC emblem of a stylized child figure within laurel sprigs. Dual dates appear in the lower field: the Hijri year ١٣٩٩ هـ to the right and the Gregorian year ١٩٧٩ م to the left. |

| Reverse description | A laureate bust of a child facing right, adorned with a wreath of stylized floral blossoms and an olive branch, is depicted in high relief within a recessed inner circle. The Arabic legend 'أطفال اليوم' (Children of Today) arcs across the upper portion of the field outside the circle, while 'أبطال الغد' (Heroes of Tomorrow) curves along the lower portion, the large Arabic letterforms integrated boldly into the design. The overall composition conveys a classical numismatic style adapted to a commemorative theme celebrating the United Nations International Year of the Child. |
