1975 El Salvador 10 Centavos Copper-Nickel Coin
1975 El Salvador 10 Centavos Copper-Nickel Coin
This 1975 10 Centavos coin from El Salvador is struck in a durable copper-nickel composition. The obverse features the profile of Francisco Morazán, a prominent Central American statesman and military leader, facing left with the inscription REPUBLICA DE EL SALVADOR and the date 1975 positioned below the bust. The reverse displays the denomination 10 CENTAVOS encircled by a decorative laurel wreath. This specific specimen exhibits a circulated finish and is housed in a protective 2x2 cardboard coin flip labeled with reference KM# 150. As a mid-1970s issue from the Republic of El Salvador, this copper-nickel piece serves as a tangible historical artifact of the nation's monetary system from that era.
1975 El Salvador 10 Centavos Copper-Nickel Coin
Condition: This coin is in circulated condition, exhibiting visible wear across the high points of the portrait of Francisco Morazán and the reverse laurel wreath. The fields show minor contact marks and a consistent gray patina characteristic of handled copper-nickel alloy. The legends and date remain legible, and the rim appears mostly intact with some softening. It is a business strike type, likely minted at the Sherritt Mint in Canada as was common for this era of Salvadoran coinage. The metal content is a copper-nickel composition. Historically, this 10 centavos piece represents the decimal currency system of El Salvador before the adoption of the US dollar, featuring the national hero Francisco Morazán on the obverse. No professional grade has been assigned.
