| Reverse description | The central field displays a raised outline map of Iraq, rendered in a clean cartographic style and occupying the majority of the coin's face. Flanking the lower portion of the map are dual dating inscriptions: the Hijri year ١٤٢٥هـ to the right and the Gregorian year ٢٠٠٤م to the left, both in Arabic numerals. The field is otherwise plain, surrounded by a continuous border of raised beads and a plain raised rim. |

Iraq's post-invasion coinage program was administered under the Coalition Provisional Authority, with the Central Bank reconstituted by CPA Order No. 18 in July 2003.
