When Iraq was part of the Ottoman Empire, several European currencies circulated alongside the Turkish pound. With the establishment of the British mandate on 2 March 1921 following World War I, Iraq was incorporated into the Indian monetary system operated by the British, and the rupee became the principal currency. In 1931 the Iraq Currency Board was established in London to issue notes for the Government of Iraq (GOV).
