This original Gulf War-era Iraqi medal is commonly known as the “Mother of All Battles” Medal, awarded during the 1990–1991 Gulf War under Saddam Hussein’s regime. The medal was given to both military and civilian participants who supported Iraq’s war effort during Operation Desert Storm, which Iraq officially termed the “Mother of All Battles.”

The medal features a striking gold finish with a tricolor arc in red, white, and black symbolizing the Iraqi flag. The central motif includes stylized wheat sheaves—representing the nation’s agricultural strength—framed by the national colors and star motifs. Suspended from a green enameled brooch bar with Arabic inscription and palm frond imagery, the design reflects a mix of Ba’athist iconography and pan-Arab symbolism. The medal is constructed in a three-part suspension with all original rings and hardware intact. The reverse is unmarked and plain.

Issued in large numbers but increasingly difficult to find in complete condition, this medal is a poignant relic of Iraq’s tumultuous late 20th-century military history and a visual artifact of Saddam-era militarism and propaganda.
