The flag of Iraq that was adopted a year after the revolution of July 1958 was
vertical black, white, green. In the white band an eight-pointed star with a
white circle in the centre, and in the circle a yellow circle (the sun?). It was
in use from 1959 to 1963 [(Alexander and Smith, 1992 ).
Ratio 1:2.
Jaume Ollé
The flag of the first republic, instituted by Brig. Gen. Abdul Karim Qassem had,
besides the black and green Pan-Arab colors, the so-called "Sun of Mesopotamia",
which supposedly represented the Kurdish (yellow core) and Christian-Assyrian (red rays) minorities. That flag was
proclaimed by the three-person presidency of the first republic (Majlis Al-Siyedeh) because Gen. Qassem
never assumed the presidency himself and remained only as prime minister. The Majlis Al-Siyadeh was composed of
one Sunni, one Shi'a and one Kurdish member.

At the top of the ring between the points of the scimitars there is the name
of the country Al-Jumhuriyaht Al-Iraquiyaht (The Iraqi Republic)).

Between the scimitar handles, at the bottom of the ring, there is the date
when the Republic was established, 14 July 1958 (14 Tamuz 1958)
Juan Manuel Gabino Villascán, 29 July 2000
The coat of arms was introduced on 14 July 1959, exactly one year after the
revolution, and was in use until 1965.
