<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ddddd, post: 7396301, member: 22377&quot;]Another new addition arrived recently. This is a fantasy piece for a nation that does not exist-Kurdistan. The Kurdish people are mainly located in four countries (Turkey, Iraq, Iran, and Syria). There have been a few times that an independent homeland was in the plans, but it has not come to fruition (often due to Turkish pressure). This fantasy coin features a Persian Fallow Deer on the obverse and mountains on the reverse. The four peaks are said to represent the four countries with large Kurdish populations. The coin was the work of dealer Joseph E. Lang with input from several Kurdish groups. Some of these groups even took coins to Iraqi Kurdistan for possible circulation.</p><p><br /></p><p>Country: <b>Kurdistan</b></p><p>Face value: <b>10 Dinars</b></p><p>Year: <b>1424 (2003)</b></p><p>Composition: <b>Copper-nickel</b></p><p>Diameter (mm): <b>38.6 mm</b></p><p>Mintage: <b>4,700 (some sources say 10,000 were authorized)</b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>[ATTACH=full]1286843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1286844[/ATTACH] </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>More info:</p><p><a href="http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Micro-Nations/Kurdistan.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Micro-Nations/Kurdistan.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Micro-Nations/Kurdistan.htm</a></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p><b></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
