Footnote: The King Faisal II Coronation Commemorative Medal was produced both by the Royal Mint in London and by Huguenin Frères of Le Locle, Switzerland with small variations. King Faisal II (1935-1958) was the last king of Iraq, reigning from 1939 until his death in a coup d’état in 1958. He was less than four years old when his father died in 1939 and his father’s cousin, Crown Prince Abd al-Ilāh, ruled as Regent until Faisal’s coming of age in 1953.

The Medal for the 14 Ramadan Revolution was instituted in 1964 in commemoration of the Revolution of February 8, 1963, which resulted in the overthrow of General Qasim's government by the Ba'ath Party.

The Army Golden Jubilee Medal was instituted in 1971 and awarded in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Iraqi Army, founded in 1921.

The Order of El Rafidain was instituted by King Faisal I in 1922 and awarded for exceptional merit in both civilian and military versions.

The 1948-49 Iraq-Palestine War Campaign Medal was awarded for participation in the war against Israel, which began on May 15, 1948.

The 1973 War With Israel Medal was awarded to those Iraqi forces that had participated in the 1973 war with Israel.

The Police General Service Medal was instituted in 1939 and awarded for general service in the police. It was discontinued in 1958.

There is little information on the General Service Medal.

The Cooperation Medal 1967-73 was instituted in 1969 and is believed to have been awarded in 2 Classes to Syrian nationals.

The Wound Medal was instituted in 1983 and awarded to soldiers of the Iraqi Armed Forces who sustained wounds or injury as a result of the execution of active military operations.
