| Additional information |
Faisal II was 18 years old in 1953 and had only recently assumed direct rule after his regent, Abd al-Ilah, stepped aside following his formal coronation that May. This coin was struck in the same year — one of the last relatively stable issues before the 1958 revolution in which both Faisal and Abd al-Ilah were killed, abruptly ending the Hashemite monarchy and rendering the entire coinage series obsolete overnight.
