This attractive and unique Crown was issued by the semi-autonomous Kurdish region of Iraq in 2003 as a gesture toward complete Kurdish self-governance and the fullfillment of Kurdish self-determination. It is one of the first 4 denominations minted then by Kurdistan with a very limited issue of 5,000 of these 10 Dinar Crowns. Depicted on this Crown is the endangered Persian Fallow Deer (Dama Mesopotamica). This coin would make a unique addition to any World Coin collection and a wonderful gift to any one interested in Iraq’s and the Kurd’s unfolding history, or for anyone with an interest in World Wildlife Coins
