Uhhhh Valued Member United States 117 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 02:29 am Grizzlybear, that's not the same coin as baronsigognac's. I'm guessing this is a Ethiopian Gersh coin instead of a Birr. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/20/2011 02:41 am If it is the size of a dime, it cannot be the Ethiopian version of a dollar. To be correct, the dollar size silver coin of Ethiopia is denominated as a 'birr'. According to Krause, the nearest coin to a dime for Ethiopia is the 1/20 birr, and was struck between 1903 and 1928, so it must be fairly common. I would't get crazy about a big value for it, in the condition you have pictured. Report this Post to the Staff
