| Reverse description | The Lion of Judah passant left, depicted in bold relief with a crowned head bearing a cross-topped imperial crown, the right forepaw raised and grasping a ribboned processional cross. A flowing banner or ribbon extends behind the lion's back across the upper field. The circular Ge'ez legend surrounds the design, proclaiming the Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, with the denomination inscription in the exergue. The composition is enclosed by a beaded border. |
