    I found this coin, Don't know anything about it. Can someone shed some light on its origin or anything? IMAG0071.jpg IMAG0072.jpg

    It is an Egyptian 10 Piastres of 1972, either KM 430 or 431. The two have different obverses but the copy of the SCWC in my computer does not have pictures of the two obverses.

    I take it, It isn't worth very much? Thank you for your help Conder, I appreciate it.

    Btw, the two holes were put there to wear the coin. In the middle east and India coins that people want to wear have two holes put in them so the coin will not flip sides while wearing. In Europes and the US traditionally one hole is used. Helpful bit of info to know to determine where the holes were put in. I found this out when researching a two holed silver Roman coin I had, I found out it was a Indian copy.
