10 Piastres coin Jordan

10 Piastres — Jordan (King Hussein)

This 10 Piastres coin comes from the modern King Hussein coinage of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the example shown carrying the dual date 1414 AH / 1993. Struck in silver-coloured cupro-nickel, it is one of the larger everyday denominations of the Jordanian dinar, in a system where one hundred piastres (qirsh) make up a single dinar. The round, bright coin with its plain edge was a workhorse of daily commerce, handling small purchases and change throughout the kingdom.

On the obverse, a portrait of King Hussein faces left, shown bare-headed in civilian dress, with Arabic inscriptions curving around the border to name the monarch and the kingdom inside a plain raised rim.

On the reverse, an outline map of Jordan is set over a fine grid or lattice pattern filling the field. The legend “THE HASHEMITE KINGDOM OF JORDAN” arcs across the top above the dual Hijri and Gregorian dates, while the denomination appears in Arabic script and in Latin letters as “TEN PIASTRES” toward the right, with a large numeral stating the value.
