| Reverse description | The crowned Lion of Judah passant facing right, holding an upright staff bearing a banner, rendered in high relief against a plain field. A circular Ge'ez legend encircles the design along the upper periphery, reading the royal title of the Emperor of Ethiopia, while a shorter inscription in Ge'ez appears in the lower exergue. The lion is depicted with a full mane and regal bearing, symbolizing the imperial dynasty, all within a beaded border. |
