This coin arrived in a simple plastic sleeve with it details on the label - 10 Qirsh 1984 ARoE Mosque of Mohamed/Citadel of Salah El Din
This is a very light (4.4 grams) silver colored coin in circulated condition. While circulated can sometimes mean "rough" condition, I found this coin to look really nice. Once I clean it, it will likely look even better.
I was very happy to find that the coin was in better condition than the coin on the product page. Good on the seller for not posting a picture of the best possible coin.
Overall I'm pleased with the coin and happy with the seller.
