| Beschrijving voorzijde | Right-facing draped bust of Emperor Menelik II, wearing a crown and a beaded collar, engraved in high relief with fine detail to the hair, beard, and imperial regalia. The circular Ge'ez legend surrounds the effigy, reading 'Dagmawi Menelik, Negusa Nagast za-Ityopya' (His Imperial Majesty Menelik II, King of Kings of Ethiopia). The Ethiopian regnal date in Ge'ez numerals appears in the exergue below the bust. The coin exhibits a bold, portrait style characteristic of late 19th-century French engraving. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The Lion of Judah, rampant and passant to the right, wearing an imperial crown and holding an upright processional cross in its raised right forepaw, standing on a ground line. The circular Ge'ez legend around the upper field reads 'Moa Anbessa Ze-imnegede Yihuda' (Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah). Below the ground line, the engraver's signature 'LAGRANGE' appears in Latin script with the Paris mint mark 'A' at center, flanked by the denomination inscription in Ge'ez script reading 'ye-birr alad' (Half Birr). The design is rendered in crisp, deeply engraved relief typical of the Monnaie de Paris workshop. |
