500 Dinars

Iraq's 2004 note issue was the second phase of the post-invasion currency reform that began in October 2003, when the Coalition Provisional Authority oversaw the replacement of both the old Swiss-printed "Swiss dinar" circulating in the Kurdish north and the Saddam-era notes in the south. De La Rue managed an enormous logistical operation to supply the new unified currency under extraordinarily compressed deadlines — the 2003 changeover itself required airlifting 27 tonnes of new notes into the country.

The P#92 belongs to the stabilization series that followed, printed once the initial emergency consignments had established basic monetary infrastructure across a still-volatile country.
