    chrisild. There is a difference between a country and a company. But sometimes that difference is not as great as one might think. :cyclops:

    Yes indeed :) Technically Jewish tribes and Roman Provincial Judaea / Palestine had this design as well, must've been popular!

    The British Mandate was composed of two regions, Palestine (modern-day Israel) and Transjordan (modern-day Jordan)

    Let's get this thread rolling again :).

    The last country posted was Egypt.

    Here's an ancient coin from Kyrene (modern-day Shahat, Libya... for those who don't want to look it up :D).

    The plant pictured on the reverse is silphium, which became extinct around the time of Nero.

    Let's jump to Jordan with a half qirsh from 1996 (KM 60). Horrible scratch on the obverse. So sad.

    I have absolutely not one single coin from Iraq! Sigh . . . .

    Okay, moving on. From Iraq I take us to Kuwait (some Iraqis have felt that Kuwait was Iraqi so maybe my first statement isn't entirely accurate . . . .) with this here 1990 ten-fils (KM 11).

    Thanks. Been crazy with a work project taking much of my time so I have been spending my free time getting fresh air away from the computer.
