Certainly. Ethiopia (Socialist Republic), 5 cents, dated 1969 by the Ethiopian Era calendar, which equates to 1977 AD. This one appears to be the Berlin Mint variety.

Wait a minute. My mistake. They're not listed in the Krause world coin catalogues yet, but Wikipedia says these coins were also made with EE1998 date (= 2006 AD). The date on yours definitely looks different to the one shown on WCG. I'm pretty sure yours is a 2006 dated coin.
