Syria - 5 Qirsh / Piastres 1933 - Mint error, Rotated 180 degrees - XF - Very Rare This Syria 5 Qirsh / Piastres coin, minted in 1933, is a rare and collectible piece due to a mint error. The coin was mistakenly rotated 180 degrees during the minting process, which makes it an intriguing example of a misaligned coin. The coin is in XF (Extremely Fine) condition, showing sharp details and only minor signs of wear, further enhancing its value for collectors. Obverse: The obverse of the coin features the inscription dividing the dates within the design, with Arabic and Latin scripts. The Arabic inscription reads "دولة سورية" ("State of Syria"), and the Latin inscription reads "ETAT DE SYRIE". The dates 1935 in Arabic and in Latin, are also divided within the design, with Arabic numerals alongside Latin ones. Reverse: The reverse displays the denomination "CINQ PIASTRES" in Latin and "خمسة غروش" ("5 Piastres") in Arabic. Crossed oat sprigs divide the value on the reverse. The Arabic numerals, ٥ (5), also appear alongside their Latin counterparts, 5. Due to the rotated 180 degrees mint error, this coin stands out as an unusual and rare collectible, especially desirable for collectors of mint errors or those focusing on Syrian numismatics.
