Sap Moderator Australia 16826 Posts	Posted 08/14/2011 6:03 pm Yep, Egypt 10 milliemes, the 1924 type with right-facing portrait. When it was new, it would have looked more like this example on WCG.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 12/16/2011 02:44 am As others have noted--for a worn down coin, it's immediately recognizable. The "square" you see on the reverse is the diamond-shaped digit for the number 0. Report this Post to the Staff
