My 2 new 1930/31 Ethiopia 25 matonas coins off Ebay. This will complete my 1, 5, 10, 25, 50 montanas denomination set. I like the lion.
Those are cool. When I was in Ethiopia I tried to get some coins but it was hard to exchanged my USD to Ethiopian Birr and even harder to get those Birr notes changed for coins. I got a few but all newer of course. They still have the cool lion though
Nice additions! I have lot of old ones from Axum/ only one new one/ heres one of each.... AV Chrysos ND/ NM Axum Nezool 480-500AD AV 600 Birr 1977 Socialist State of Ethiopia Walla Ibex
Great looking coin! I like foreign hats as well, check out this hat from Bhutan! Btw, anyone know what this Bhutan hat is called??
This is an Ethiopian gold coin that was gifted to my father by Haile Selassie. It is very small, and I found it at the bottom of his cuff link box. At first I thought is was junk, until I decided to take it to my LCS. Glad I did! Very rare and valuable!
