Beschrijving voorzijde Bare-headed effigy of King Ghazi I facing left, with finely detailed hair rendered in incuse lines, engraved by Percy Metcalfe. The king's unadorned bust is depicted in a restrained, naturalistic style characteristic of British Royal Mint portraiture of the 1930s. The Arabic legend arcs along the left and right margins of the scalloped field, flanking the portrait. A small mint mark appears at the base of the neck below the truncation.

Aanvullende informatie

Ghazi I died in April 1939, just months after this coin entered circulation — killed in a car crash at his palace in Baghdad that many Iraqis, then and now, attributed to British orchestration. He had been openly hostile to the British mandate's residual influence and had broadcast pan-Arab propaganda from his own private radio transmitter. Coins bearing his name circulated through a country immediately plunged into a succession crisis, with his three-year-old son Faisal II taking the throne under a British-aligned regent.
