Looking for I.D.

Hi everyone,

I found this coin online, but can't seem to identify it. At first, I thought it might be from Iraq, but nothing in my 2011 Standard Catalog of World Coins matched up. It kind of looked like 10 fils.

I then checked Iran, Jordan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia but couldn't find anything close. Any ideas?

I appreciate your input!



P.S. These are not my photos so I can't provide better pics. Hopefully they're clear enough for I.D.

I think that star was on Iraqi coins in the 1970s.

 

I think it's a 1959 Iraq 10 Fils. The photo looks about the same as in my catalog.

 

You definitely pegged the date.

 

Thanks, Large. I agree. Somehow I overlooked that entry in the Krause book. Good eye and thanks!

 

My pleasure sir!

 

Certainly.
