[Modern World]. Lot of 2 Kurdish 10 Dinar, one Error. 10 dinar. Obv: Mountain scene with both English and Kurdish script Rev: Persian Fallow deer, date, and denomination. KM X2. Proof.
All group lots are sold as-is, returns not accepted. The coins shown are the exact coins you will receive.
In expectation of Kurdishan gaining independence from Iraq after the second Gulf War, Kurdish groups in exile authorized the first modern coins of Kurdistan. When the initial 1 and 10 dinar coins were struck, Kurdish officials discovered that the name of the country was misspelled using the Arabic alphabet instead of the Kurdish. To the untrained eye, the difference is that the correct version has two curved marks in the bottom of the legend on the coin while the error only has one. Only 300 pieces of the error versions were struck before a corrected die was created. The error coin is on the right.
