Here is a detailed presentation of the historical and technical information for each: 1. Half Dinar Note (1993 Issue) This note is a celebration of Islamic science and architecture in Iraq.

Back: Displays a drawing of the famous "Malwiya Minaret of Samarra," a unique architectural symbol from the Abbasid era. Technical Condition: Its printing used muted brown and gray colors, and this print lacks complex watermarks or advanced security threads due to the economic sanctions at the time. 2. Quarter Dinar Note (1993 Issue) This denomination focuses on the country's agricultural and archaeological aspects.
