This specimen was lot 71872 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice sale (Santa Ana, CA, October 2020), where it sold for $720. The catalog description[1] noted, "IRAQ. 2 Fils, AH 1352/1933. NGC MS-65 Red Brown. Carefully preserved with the added attribute of strong blue and mauve toning where the original red no longer remains. Unsurpassed in technical quality in the NGC census and sure to be strongly pursued as a result." This type was struck 1931 and 1933 and is not at all common in nice condition. The monarchy lasted 1921-58.
Recorded mintage: 1,000,000.
Specification: 5 g, bronze, 24 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM-96.
