Trial pieces for this 1966 jubilee issue were produced in multiple metal variants as the Ethiopian imperial mint — operating under considerable foreign technical assistance — worked through production approval. The gold-plated bronze composition places this firmly in the proof and trial category rather than circulation testing, used to assess die quality and relief depth before committing to full gold production.
Haile Selassie's Golden Jubilee marked fifty years from his 1916 assumption of power as regent, not his 1930 coronation — a distinction the imperial court was careful to observe in dating the commemorative series.
