1/4 Dinar

Iraq's 1959 note series was the first issued following the July 1958 revolution that abolished the Hashemite monarchy — the Central Bank of Iraq itself had only been established in 1947, and these notes marked a deliberate rebranding of the currency away from royal imagery. Bradbury Wilkinson, working from their New Malden facility, had long been a preferred printer for Middle Eastern central banks, and their intaglio work on the Iraqi series is characteristically tight.

The quarter-dinar denomination was a low-value workhorse, and heavily circulated examples dominate the surviving population.
