Iraq Central Bank of Iraq 5 Dinars 1947 (ND 1959) Pick 49 PMG Choice Very Fine 35. Ornate borders encompass the stunning designs on this piece, featuring a portrait of King Faisal II on the front, and depiction of Hammurabi on the back. A plethora of deep red inks remain on this issue from the last series. Though the notes were recorded to have been issued in 1959, King Faisal II was deposed and executed in the 14 July revolution in 1958. New notes were quickly introduced, using all the same designs and layout except with the arms of the new Iraqi state instead of the portrait of the king, hence the rarity of all notes of this design today. https://currency.ha.com/itm/world-currency/iraq-central-bank-of-iraq-5-dinars-1947-nd-1959-pick-49-pmg-choice-very-fine-35/a/4039-25287.s?type=DA-DMC-CoinArchivesCurrency-WorldPaperMoney-4039-10202022 HID08706262019 © 2022 Heritage Auctions | All Rights Reserved
