Obverse description A boldly rendered lion's head in right profile occupies virtually the entire field, depicted with open jaws and a flowing, stylised mane rendered in sweeping relief lines. A Ge'ez legend arcs along the upper rim above the mane, while the word 'DERG' in Ge'ez script (ደርግ) appears in the lower field beneath the lion's jaw. The design is executed in a dynamic, high-relief sculptural style characteristic of Ethiopian commemorative coinage of the period.
