A Sovereign Rarity: The Child King of Iraq
Secure a cornerstone of Middle Eastern numismatic history with this authentic 1 Dinar note. Issued during the global upheaval of the 1940s, this note features the poignant "Child Portrait" of King Faisal II, who ascended to the throne at just three years old. This Series II issue from the Iraqi Currency Board is highly prized for its intricate Bradbury Wilkinson engraving and its scarcity in collectible grades.
Historic & Design Highlights:
-
Obverse (Front): Features the famous "Child Portrait" of King Faisal II on the right, housed in an oval frame. The center carries the promise to pay in Arabic, set against a stunning multi-colored guilloche underprint.
-
Reverse (Back): A classic colonial-style layout featuring "GOVERNMENT OF IRAQ" and "ONE DINAR" in bold English text. The design is anchored by three decorative geometric panels.
-
The "War Issue" Context: While the Law date is 1931, this specific "Q" prefix variety was printed around 1942. These notes were vital to the Iraqi economy during the Anglo-Iraqi War and the subsequent British occupation.
-
Signatories: Lord Kennet and A. Amin.
-
Printer: Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd. (BWC), London.
Item Details:
-
Issuer: Government of Iraq (Currency Board).
-
Denomination: One Dinar.
-
Pick Number: P-18a.
-
Serial Number: Q143,769.
-
Grading: PMG 25 Very Fine.
-
Condition Note: PMG has noted "Stains" on the reverse of the holder. This is a common and honest attribute for a note that survived the harsh climates and wartime circulation of the 1940s Middle East.
Collector's Perspective: The 1 Dinar "Child Faisal" is significantly harder to find than the fractional denominations. Most were redeemed and destroyed after the monarchy was overthrown in 1958, making surviving examples like this a must-have for historians and advanced world paper money collectors. A Very Fine 25 grade ensures the note retains its structural integrity and clear, sharp portrait details.
