    image.jpg image.jpg I found this coin in a world foreign coin bag and I can’t tell what the date is. If anyone can read this language please help me find the date and where it is from.

    Yes - appears to be Ethiopia 25 cents, KM# 36. I can't read the writing but they appear to be a single issue dated 1936 on their calendar, which corresponds to 1943/4 on the Western calendar. A note underneath says issued in 1952 and 1953.
    Value sadly very little, even if it were in better grade.
