Government of Iraq, an obverse and reverse printers archival photograph for a proposed issue of 25 dinars, law of 1931 (1944), serial number A 000000, black and white, portrait of King Faisal II as a young boy at right, signatures of Kennet and Daoud al Haidari low centre, reverse an equestrian statue of King Faisal I at centre, value at left
(Pick unrecorded, Linzmayer unrecorded), the 25 dinars was never issued but this photograph proves that the intention to issue a 25 dinar had certainly been considered. The equestrian statue of King Faisal I was adopted in the National Bank issues of 1 dinar in 1947. Dated '3 Oct 1944' in pencil on reverse, a fascinating and attractive research item
