| Additional information |
Iraq's 1982 coinage was produced during the early years of the Iran-Iraq War, a conflict that would ultimately consume the country's finances for the better part of a decade. The Central Bank continued issuing standard currency throughout, though wartime demands on state resources increasingly strained the mint program. This particular denomination had circulated in various forms since the 1950s under different governing authorities.
