Issued in 1968 as part of Iraq's Birds definitive series, this stamp commemorates the Peregrine Falcon (Falco peregrinus), one of the world's most celebrated birds of prey.

The species has a long-standing association with the traditional practice of falconry, which occupies an important place in the cultural heritage of Iraq and the broader Arab world. By featuring the Peregrine Falcon, the Republic of Iraq highlighted a species that symbolizes strength, precision, and nobility. The issue celebrated both Iraq's natural heritage and the region's falconry traditions, while promoting appreciation of birds of prey and the importance of wildlife conservation.
