To the left of the lion appears the Ge'ez denomination legend '፳ ብር', and to the right the numeral '20' above the abbreviation 'E$'. A circular Ge'ez legend in Fraktur blackletter style runs along the upper periphery. In the lower portion of the field, the Ethiopian calendar year '፲፱፻፶፰' appears above the Gregorian year '1966', with the legend 'EMPIRE OF ETHIOPIA' inscribed along the lower rim in Fraktur blackletter script. |
