Overview
A circular grey-toned coin featuring a central denomination on one side and three palm trees on the other.
Historical significance
This coin was issued by the Republic of Iraq following the July 14 Revolution in 1958, which abolished the monarchy. The design replaced the portrait of King Faisal II with national symbols.
Obverse (front)
Denomination '10' in Arabic numerals within a circle, flanked by grain ears and Republic of Iraq legends above.
Reverse (back)
Three palm trees symbolizing the Iraqi environment and its primary agricultural export.
Estimated value
$0.50 - $2.00 in circulated condition; $5.00 - $12.00 in Mint State.
What drives this coin's value
Condition is the primary factor. High-grade uncirculated examples with original luster are much more desirable to collectors.
Grade assessment
Fine to Very Fine; significant surface wear and dark toning but all major legends and designs are legible.
Mintage & rarity
High mintage; very common type for the era.
Authenticity & counterfeit red flags
Check for the quality of the engraving. Forgery is rare due to the low value, but ensure the metal isn't magnetic.
Notable varieties & errors
None widely recognized for this specific year; however, die rotation errors are occasionally found.
Similar coins
It is similar in size and metal to the earlier monarchist 10 Fils, but distinguished by the lack of a king's portrait.
Care & preservation
Do not clean with abrasives or chemicals. Store in an acid-free holder to prevent surface oxidation.
