<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Aidan Work, post: 69254, member: 1824&quot;]The Egyptian coin dated 1973 is also dated AH1393,which is the date in the Islamic lunar calendar.An Islamic lunar year is 11 days shorter.There is an Islamic solar calendar,but this is used in Iran &amp; Afghanistan.</p><p><br /></p><p>As to the Ethiopian coin,it is dated EE1936 (1944).The Ethiopian calendar is around 7 or 8 years behind ours.The Ethiopian Era calendar is still in use,especially by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.The coins of Emperor Haile Selassie are popular with the Rastafarians,as the Emperor was known as Ras Tafari Makonnen prior to his coronation in 1930.</p><p><br /></p><p>Aidan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
