10 Paise Aluminum Magnesium Coin India 1971–1982 Scalloped Collectible

Product Description:

The 10 Paise aluminum-magnesium coin was issued by the Government of India between 1971 and 1982. The obverse carries the Lion Capital of Ashoka with “भारत / INDIA”, while the reverse shows the denomination “10 Paise,” year of issue, and a decorative floral border.
