| Reverse description | Central field displays the denomination in two lines of Ge'ez script within a beaded inner circle: the numeral ፩ (one) above ግርሸ (Gersh). The surrounding legend in Ge'ez reads the imperial motto referring to the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, flanked by cross ornaments. Below the inner circle, the Paris mint mark 'A' appears between two cross ornaments, and the Ethiopian calendar date ፲፰፻፹፰ (EE 1888, equivalent to AD 1896) is inscribed along the lower rim. A toothed border frames the entire reverse design. |
