    I have this coin that, as far as I can tell, is a 10 piastres from 1393 - 1973. I can't find a listing for it in my Krause book or online at ngc. Is it a token? A mule? Thanks for any help.

    Not sure. I now think the eagle is Libya not Syria. Maybe a Libya Egypt mule. IDK.

    well. I just looked at my older 2010 Krause catalog and in it is calls the reverse Islamic falcon. hmmm still researching here. In Egypt listing it also has a second listing under the KM#430 listing the KM#431 as a mule. grade/value VF-$5.50 XF-$17.50 UNC-$27.50

    I do not think it is from Libya.... because their design has something on both sides of the falcon.

    dude I found it. it's Egypt KM#435 its denomination is 10 milliemes. size 21mm. I was able to see it from looking at Ebay item#190913596133 large coin looks like yours. I like doing coin research and it was driving my crazy not knowing where it came from lol.

    Thanks for the help. That's why I ask here. I think Egypt #435 is correct. None of my books show a picture. Thanks again.
