Kurdistan 10000 Dinar 1 oz. Silver Coin $5.00 each. This popular privately minted 1 oz Silver coin brings attention to the people of Kurdistan. Though Kurdistan has not achieved independence, it recently released new silver coins dated 2006. The obverse of the Kurdistan silver 10,000 Dinar coin shows a Merlin, (Falco columbarius), (bird).  Mountains figure prominently in Kurdish lore, so the reverse of the coin features four mountain peaks, which also represents the four nations with major Kurdish populations. Above the mountains is a 21-rayed rising sun, which is a traditional Kurdish symbol predating the nation’s conversion to Islam. The legends are in the two main dialects of Kurdish: Sorani and Kurmanji. This coin is not an official government issue, but it is a privately minted commemorative issue that is clad in 99.9% pure premium silver. This coin is a high quality collectable. These coins make a great gift or addition to your collection! Each coin comes in a re-sealable plastic bag/Mylar Coin flip or plastic snap case to protect it. Photos show front and back views. These stunningly beautiful coins are just $5.00 each!
