This stamp commemorates the first anniversary of the 14 Ramadan Revolution, which took place on 8 February 1964 (14 Ramadan 1383 AH). The revolution resulted in a major political change in Iraq, leading to the overthrow of the existing government and the establishment of a new administration. As with many commemorative issues of the period, the stamp was intended to mark a significant event in the country's modern political history and to reinforce themes of national transformation and renewal.

By issuing this stamp, Iraq celebrated the anniversary of an event that was presented as an important milestone in the development of the republic. The design combines national symbols and revolutionary imagery to emphasize unity, political change, and the aspirations associated with the new era. The issue reflects the use of postage stamps as a means of commemorating key moments in Iraq's contemporary history and promoting a sense of national identity.
