<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 14532, member: 669&quot;]The design of the top photo is very similar to the reverse of KM#153, a nickle 1 Dinar commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Iraqi Air Force, but the date &quot;1981&quot; in arabic is on the right side, and the coin is 10-sided instead of round.&nbsp; The diameter is approximately the same.&nbsp; Of course that&#039;s Sadaam&#039;s bust.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse of the coin shown in Krause&nbsp; is also very similar, including the double date at the bottom and script in the same positions.&nbsp; The center device, however, is the standard Republic of Iraq denomination, consisting of a number over a word in Arabic (&quot;1&quot; over &quot;dinar&quot;, &quot;25&quot; over &quot;fils&quot;, etc.); not the more complicated legends on your piece.</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Every</b> Republic of Iraq (1959-present) coin pictured in Krause has the denomination in a circle in the center of the obverse, leading me to guess that you have a gold medal, not a coin, issued in commemoration of the IAF anniversary.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
