QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 01/28/2009 6:07 pm Ethiopia EE1936 (1944) date was frozen from 1944 to 1975. Hard to tell you the denomination as the cent, 5 cent, 10 cent and 25 cent all look the same apart from the diameter. They are all copper. On second thoughts the characters on the lion side look like either the cent or the 5 cent I think. Edited by QuickSilver 01/28/2009 6:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 07:31 am I was just going through the ID Required file and found this one, almost-but-not-quite answered. Sorry for the delay. There is a difference between these denominations: the face value is written out, in full, in the Amharic script beneath the lion. It doesn't help that the pic in Krause for the 5 cents is wrong; they've shown a pic of the 1 cent there since at least the 2006 edition, and on NumisMaster right now the pic is still wrong. Your coin is, however, a 1 cent. KM# 32. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S.

QuickSilver Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1077 Posts	Posted 02/12/2009 1:32 pm Aah, that makes sense. I couldn't figure out why the 1 cent and 5 cent had the same script, but the others did not! Just checked my older Krause (2004) and they have the correct pic. Why on earth did they change it?
