Overview

A silver-colored coin featuring an eagle on the obverse and Arabic calligraphy with dates on the reverse.

Historical significance

Issued during the period of the United Arab Republic, a political union between Egypt and Syria (which Egypt continued to use as its official name until 1971). This specific year (1967) is notable for being the year of the Six-Day War.

Obverse (front)

Features the Eagle of Saladin looking left with a shield on its chest containing two stars (representing the Egypt-Syria union). Below is a scroll with the Arabic name of the country.

Reverse (back)

Central denomination '١٠' (10) and 'قروش' (Piastres/Qirsh). The Gregorian year '١٩٦٧' (1967) is on the left and the Hijri year '١٣٨٧' (1387) is on the right. Calligraphy at top: 'الجمهورية العربية المتحدة' (United Arab Republic).

Estimated value

$4-$8 in circulated condition, $15-$25 in Uncirculated (MS) condition based on silver content and collector demand.

What drives this coin's value

Silver melt value provides a baseline. Condition and the legibility of the dates/eagle feathers are the main drivers for numismatic premium.

Grade assessment

Fine to Very Fine. The coin shows significant surface wear, minor scratches, and darkening/toning, but all legends and the main device are clearly legible.

Mintage & rarity

5,000,000 (Common)

Authenticity & counterfeit red flags

Verify weight (6.0g) and diameter (25mm). Check for the correct silver 'ping' sound. Counterfeits of this specific common date are rare, but look for casting bubbles or poor calligraphy.

Notable varieties & errors

Standard circulation strikes are the most common; no major die varieties are widely documented for this year.

Similar coins

Often confused with the 1960 or 1972 5 Qirsh coins which are smaller, or later Egyptian 10 Qirsh coins that feature the Hawk of Quraish instead of the Eagle of Saladin.
