The Algerian dinar (code: DZD) is the official currency of Algeria and has been in use since 1964. It is divided into 100 centimes, although centime coins are no longer in widespread circulation due to inflation and the country's transition to a more capitalist economy.

The Algerian coin series minted in 1964 included denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 centimes, as well as 1 dinar. These coins were introduced as a new currency for the country and were designed to replace the previous French colonial currency.

The latest series of Algerian dinar coins includes denominations of 5, 10, 20, and 50 dinars. These coins are bimetallic, with a brass outer ring and a nickel-plated steel center.

The obverse of the coins features the emblem of Algeria, which consists of a front-facing eagle with wings spread, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and oak leaves.

These commemorative coins offer a unique opportunity for collectors to own a piece of the country's history and heritage.
