Product Information
Specification
Iraq: Silver Commemorative Medal for the 
Coronation of King Faisal II. 
On the obverse: The head of King Faisal II
On the reverse: The crowned cipher of King 
Faisal II, the dates "1372 - 1953", the 
inscription "Towija Sanah" (Coronation year) 
in Arabic numerals and characters.. 
Signed and maker marked: "Huguenin" and 
"HF" (for Huguenin Freres, La Locle, 
Switzerland), hallmarked silver "925".
The medal was issued in 2 classes (silver and 
bronze) to commemorate the coronation of 
King Faisal II ibn Ghazi on 2 May 1953. 
It was produced by the British Royal Mint and 
by Huguenin Freres, in very small numbers 
and with small differences between the 2 types.
King Faisal II (1935-1958) was the last king of 
Iraq, reigning typically from 1939 (he was 4 years 
old when his father died in 1939 and Crown 
Prince Abd al-Ilah, ruled as Regent until 1953, 
when Faisal came to age and officially assumed 
reign). Faisal II died following a military coup 
d’état in 1958, led by Abd al-Karim Qasim.
The medal is very rare, especially in its silver 
class.
A nice, genuine example of a heavily copied 
medal.
