Garoyn Pillar of the Community United States 513 Posts	Posted 08/02/2015 11:51 am I have this coin I am trying to identify. It looks like an Egypt 1960 10 milliemes. But not quite--the reverse has the dates straddling the bird and the obverse is not quite right. Anybody have an idea what this coin is? thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

GSDykes Valued Member United States 95 Posts	Posted 09/11/2015 5:04 pm The two stars in the shield point to the United Arab Republic, this one is minted or produced by Syria. Both Syria and Egypt generated coins in this union, I believe Yemen did also, but their coins were radically different. Report this Post to the Staff
