Iraq's Central Bank issued this series beginning in 1979, the year the Ba'ath Party consolidated absolute power under Saddam Hussein. The timing is not coincidental — a new currency design program accompanied the broader project of rebranding state institutions under the new leadership.
P#69 is among the more commonly encountered Iraqi notes from this period, having circulated heavily before the economic disruptions of the 1980s Iran-Iraq War degraded the dinar's purchasing power and prompted successive reissues at higher denominations.
