Here's some information about this coin:
Country and Year: Papua New Guinea, 1975. This year marks the introduction of the new Kina and Toea currency, replacing the Australian dollar.
Denomination: 10 Toea. The term "Toea" is derived from a local Hiri Motu word for a type of valuable seashell historically used as currency in the region.
Composition: Copper-Nickel alloy, typically consisting of 75% Copper and 25% Nickel.
Design: The obverse (the side pictured) features the Coat of Arms of Papua New Guinea, which includes a Bird-of-Paradise perched over a traditional Kundu drum and spear. The reverse side, not visible in this image, depicts a Spotted Cuscus, a marsupial native to New Guinea.
Significance: This coin is part of the first series of independent coinage for Papua New Guinea, issued after the country gained monetary independence in 1975.
