| Reverse description | The crowned Lion of Judah, the traditional royal symbol of Ethiopia, is depicted passant to the left in the centre of the field, holding a cross-topped sceptre in its right forepaw. A royal crown surmounts the lion's head. A Ge'ez legend encircles the upper and lateral fields, while the denomination inscription appears in the lower exergue. The design is framed by a beaded border and executed in the fine medallic tradition of the Paris Mint. |
