<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 722927, member: 39&quot;]Don&#039;t think so. Ethiopia was a monarchy with an emperor back then. Since 1974 it has been a republic (with various political systems). The last gersh coins were minted in the mid-1920s.</p><p><br /></p><p>The 1, 5 and 10 santeem coins with the EE1936 date were, according to the catalog I use, minted in the US (Philadelphia) and the UK (Heaton / King&#039;s Norton, Birmingham). As for that &quot;1936&quot;, keep in mind that Ethiopia uses its own calendar, or rather a mix of two: <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_calendar" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_calendar" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_calendar</a>&nbsp; So EE1936 is 1944 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
