| Comments |
Iraq's wartime finances were managed under British supervision throughout this period, and the Government of Iraq notes issued in 1942 reflect that arrangement directly — Bradbury Wilkinson had printed Iraqi currency since the earliest issues of the 1930s, a relationship rooted in the mandate era that outlasted formal British control of the country.
P#18 is notably scarcer than the higher denominations of the same series, likely because low-value notes absorbed the hardest daily use during the war years, when Iraq served as a major Allied supply and transit hub.
