Cool Coin

There's no requirement that coins be round!

I'm not sure where, exactly, this coin is from, but it's dated 1975 (AD) and 1395 (AH).

    Looks like the Iraqi 10 fils, 1975. Here's one on eBay if you catch it quickly:

    In case you the listing disappears before you can see it, here's the 5 fils from the same series: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7977.html

    The only difference between the 5 and the 10 is the writing in the center of the reverse that gives the denomination.
