| 表面の説明 | Draped bust of Emperor Menelik II facing right, wearing an ornate traditional Ethiopian crown with intricate geometric detailing and a neck cloth falling behind. The engraver's signature LAGRANGE appears in small Latin letters along the lower rim. A circular Ge'ez legend surrounds the effigy, reading in full 'His Imperial Majesty Menelik, King of Kings of Ethiopia.' The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detail on the beard, facial features, and regalia, reflecting the academic style of the Monnaie de Paris. |

1896 was the year of Adwa, where Ethiopian forces under Menelik II decisively defeated the Italian army — the first time a European colonial power had been repelled by an African nation in a pitched battle. This coin was struck the same year, part of Menelik's deliberate modernization of Ethiopian currency as a signal of sovereign economic administration at the precise moment his military credibility reached its peak.
The Gersh denominations of this series were minted at the Paris Mint under contract, an arrangement that itself carried a pointed irony given the European colonial ambitions Ethiopia had just turned back.
