Kingdom of Iraq Commemorative Table Medal

[Sal]

Picked this up the other day, don't know why the table medals form the kingdom intrigue me so much. Maybe the history and the road traveled tgo where we are now...in any event, they keep jumping out at me.

This is a commemorative medal for the opening of the New Baghdad Bridge in 1957. Not sure exactly where in the metropolitan area it is.....it's about 3 inches in diameter and with it's original fitted box.

The neat thing to me is the maker name on the bottom, Hugein, as well as the Iraqi store and address in Baghdad.

Any information is appreciated...thanks as always

Nice, I wonder is the bridge still standing?

Yes, this bridge is standing up to date, its called "Al-Shuhada" Bridge. Al-Shuhada is the arabic word equals to " Martyers", this bridge located near Baghdadi Museum in its end in Risafa part of Baghdad.

Attached photo of the bridge.

Thanx.
