| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, high-relief composition depicting two Iraqi soldiers in three-quarter bust facing left. The foreground figure wears a steel combat helmet with chin strap and holds an automatic weapon, while the background figure wears a pith helmet and carries a rifle with fixed bayonet across his shoulder. The juxtaposition of the two soldiers symbolises the army across the decades. The founding year '١٩٢١' appears to the right and the jubilee year '١٩٧١' to the left in the field, flanking the figures. The design is enclosed within a beaded border. |
