1972 Madagascar 10 Francs coin, also denominated as 2 Ariary (though the Ariary denomination might be less prominent on this specific issue).
Here's more information about this coin and Madagascar's currency:
Denomination and Year: It is a 10 Francs coin from 1972. In Madagascar's dual currency system at the time, 5 Malagasy Francs were equivalent to 1 Malagasy Ariary, so this 10 Francs coin also represented 2 Ariary.
Composition: The coin is made of Aluminum-Bronze.
Design: The obverse (the side shown in your image) features a vanilla plant, while the reverse typically depicts the value within the horns of an ox head flanked by sprigs and marks. The text visible in your image, "FA AHAMBOLAN NY REPOBLIKA MALAGASY," translates to something like "THE TREASURE OF THE MALAGASY REPUBLIC" or "THE CURRENCY OF THE MALAGASY REPUBLIC."
Historical Context: This coin belongs to a period when Madagascar was transitioning from the Malagasy Franc, which replaced the CFA franc in 1963, to the Ariary.
