Overview

A circular silver coin from the United Arab Republic period featuring a central eagle on the reverse and Arabic inscriptions on the obverse.

Historical significance

Issued during the period of the United Arab Republic (a union between Egypt and Syria, though by 1967 it was effectively just Egypt). The coin features the Eagle of Saladin.

Obverse (front)

Value '١٠' (10) in the center, 'Qirsh' below, 'United Arab Republic' in Arabic script above, and dates AH 1387 and AD 1967 at the bottom flanking an ornamental design.

Reverse (back)

The Eagle of Saladin facing left with a shield on its chest featuring two stars (representing Egypt and Syria), with 'United Arab Republic' in Arabic on a scroll.

Estimated value

$10-$15 in Very Fine, $20-$35 in Mint State

What drives this coin's value

Silver bullion price, overall wear, and presence of original luster or heavy scratches.

Grade assessment

Very Fine (VF) - Visible wear on the eagle's feathers and high points of the calligraphy, typical dark toning/patina.

Mintage & rarity

Approximately 1,000,000; relatively common but silver content adds base value.

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check weight (7g) and diameter (27mm). Authentics should have distinct, sharp reeding on the edge. Silver should not be magnetic.

Notable varieties & errors

None widely recognized for this specific circulation year.

Similar coins

Often confused with the 5 Qirsh of the same era, which is smaller, or the later 10 Qirsh commemorative issues.

Care & preservation

Do not clean or polish the coin as it removes the original surface; store in a PVC-free flip or archival holder to prevent tarnishing.
