| Opmerkingen |
Ethiopia's Derg regime — the military junta that had deposed Haile Selassie in 1974 — needed new currency imagery stripped of imperial associations. This 1977 issue was part of that deliberate break, replacing the Lion of Judah symbolism that had defined Ethiopian banknotes for decades. Thomas De La Rue had printed for the imperial government as well; the relationship continued uninterrupted, whatever the politics in Addis Ababa.
P#41 is the lowest denomination of the Derg's first full note series. The 1 Birr circulated hard and survivors in clean condition are less common than the higher values.
