| Reverse description | Three prominent date palm trees occupy the foreground, their fronds spread broadly across the central field, with a row of additional palm trees receding into the background on both sides, creating a landscape scene symbolic of Iraq. The Hijri year appears to the left and the Common Era year to the right of the design, both in Arabic script. The overall composition is strongly emblematic of Iraqi national imagery, executed with fine detail in the tree fronds and trunk textures. |

| Additional information |
Iraq's 50 fils denomination was minted continuously through the Ba'athist period, surviving the 1979 transition of power to Saddam Hussein, the devastating Iran-Iraq War of 1980–1988, and remaining in circulation until the economic collapse triggered by UN sanctions following the 1990 invasion of Kuwait effectively rendered low-denomination coinage worthless against runaway inflation.
