Estimated value

$0.11 - $2.00 USD (Face value in circulation, slightly more in high Mint State).

What drives this coin's value

Most circulating examples are only worth face value. Premium values apply only to uncirculated specimens or rare error coins (e.g., rotation errors).

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine (visible wear and discoloration from circulation).

Mintage & rarity

Common (approximately 44,800,000 produced in 2006)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Check for correct weight (4.1g) and the specific 'scalloped' edge feel. Magnetic test: Nordic gold is non-magnetic.

Notable varieties & errors

Minor mechanical doubling or die cracks occasionally occur but carry little premium for this date/type.

Similar coins

10 Cent coins from other Eurozone countries; distinguished by the unique national portrait of Rigas Feraios and Greek lettering.

Care & preservation

Avoid cleaning with chemicals or abrasives. Store in PVC-free holders (flips or folders) to prevent green residue (verdigris) and maintain the luster of the Nordic Gold alloy.
