An irresistible note:
Krause-Mishler book mentions this coin as 50 Dinars, but theoretical based on the above two
silver coins it should be just 375 fils. An admirer of my website,
Charles R. Carlson from Staten Island, New York commented on this
coin: "At the time of its issue, it was called, in this country a
500 fils coin or medal. The Iraqi 50 Dinars till 1971 worth 50x2.8 =
$140. This coin does not justify that much worth by its silver
fineness and weight". Later probably in 2009 onwards,
Krause publication realized their mistake and corrected it as 500
fils coin. |
