Sap Moderator Australia 16827 Posts	Posted 01/21/2010 09:19 am It's an "unofficial medallic coin", commemorating the coronation of Emperor Heile Selassie. Dated EE 1923 (= AD 1930). A gold coin of this design, denominated at 1/2 talari, is listed in the Krause "Unusual" book, KMX# M19. This one doesn't appear to be gold. 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. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/21/2010 09:21 am At this point I can only date it. It says EE 1923 which translates to AD 1931. There's nothing like this in Krause, I wonder if it's a medal rather than a coin. I will track down a person from Ethiopia I know and figure out exactly what this is (unless someone'll get it before). Report this Post to the Staff
