| Anmerkungen |
Iraq's 1953 currency reform replaced the earlier Iraq Currency Board issues, shifting note authority to the newly established National Bank. Bradbury Wilkinson, one of the more technically accomplished security printers of the postwar period, handled the production — a typical arrangement for newly autonomous central banks in the British sphere, who retained familiar printers even after political independence was achieved.
The watermark is the sole mechanical security feature on this denomination, reflecting accepted practice for high-value notes of the period rather than any particular vulnerability in the Iraqi market.
The series was superseded in 1959 following the July 1958 revolution that abolished the Hashemite monarchy.
