| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of Emperor Menelik II wearing a traditional Ethiopian crown adorned with a beaded band, rendered in high relief against a smooth field. The portrait is framed by two small olive or laurel branches at the lower left and right, converging beneath the effigy. A circular Ge'ez legend surrounds the bust, reading the emperor's full imperial title, with the Ethiopian calendar date inscribed in the exergue. The design is bordered by a continuous beaded inner rim. |
