| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field features the universal UNICEF International Year of the Child emblem: a stylized figure of an adult sheltering a child, framed by two laurel branches. Above the central device, the Ethiopian state emblem appears at the top of the field. The legend 'SOCIALIST ETHIOPIA' arcs along the left and right periphery in Latin script, while the Ge'ez inscription 'ኅብረተሰብአዊት ኢትዮጵያ' runs along the upper field. The date '1980' is inscribed at the base of the design. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The International Year of the Child was declared by the United Nations for 1979, and Ethiopia's participation in the commemorative coinage program was notable given the country was simultaneously enduring the brutal consolidation of Mengistu Haile Mariam's Derg regime — a government responsible for the Red Terror campaign that killed tens of thousands of Ethiopians, many of them children. The piedfort format, struck at double the normal flan thickness, was almost certainly produced for collector export rather than any domestic market.
At 62.2 grams, this is essentially a two-ounce gold piece. Mintages for Ethiopian piedfort issues of this period were extremely low.
