Overview

A circular coin featuring the large numeral '10' in the center with the year '1988' below it. The word 'PAISE' is inscribed in English on the right and 'पैसे' in Hindi on the left.

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the decimal series of Indian coinage. The 10 paise denomination was a common circulating coin in India for several decades before being effectively phased out due to inflation and rising production costs. The shift to aluminum helped keep production costs low during the 1980s.

Estimated value

$0.10 - $0.50 USD (Collector value is low due to high mintage, unless in mint condition)

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals as aluminum scratches easily. Store in a dry, acid-free coin holder or flip to prevent oxidation and environmental damage.
