    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.

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