Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 03/21/2019 06:26 am @gioria, first welcome to CCF. Second, it looks to me like you might not have a coin, but rather a medal with the loop removed. The medal was issued for the coronation of Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia in 1930 AD (BE1923).

I don' think that portrait bares much resemblance though (not that I think you are wrong Spence, just an observation). Report this Post to the Staff

Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 03/21/2019 9:10 pm Quote: The profile faces right @albert, do you have a numista or other link to post with the coin version of this? All I could find in a quick interwebs search was the coronation medal.

Albert Pillar of the Community United States 1915 Posts	Posted 03/22/2019 1:39 pm What I meant to say in my previous post is that when you look over the genuine coinage of Ethiopia, the emperor's profile faces right. If you check out the Coronation Medal: Ref. Bruce X#19 1/2 Talari (which is similar to the OP), the emperors profile faces left. There is no "coin version" of this medal.
