1959 Iraq 1 Fils {1-year issue} ١٣٧٩ - ١٩٥٩ 9S 

FEATURING
front: oat sprig within centre circle of star-like design

The first post-monarchical state emblem of Iraq adopted under the republican government of Abd al-Karim Qasim was based on the ancient sun-disk symbol of Shamash and Ishtar, and avoided pan-Arab symbolism by incorporating elements of Socialist heraldry. At the time of the Iraqi Revolution of 1958, Qassim had demonstrated strong pan-Arab and Arab nationalist views, however, these cooled somewhat during his presidency.
