| Opis awersu |
The Imperial Lion of Judah, passant right and wearing a crown, occupies the central field, its raised right foreleg grasping an upright staff bearing a ribboned processional cross. A circular Ge'ez legend surrounds the design along the upper periphery, while the Latin inscription EMPIRE OF ETHIOPIA and the denomination E$5 appear along the lower border. The date -1972- is inscribed in the exergue beneath the lion. A small mint mark is visible below the lion's feet. |

| Opis rewersu |
A dignified right-facing bust portrait of Emperor Menelik II dominates the central field, depicted wearing an elaborately decorated imperial crown and a draped garment. The emperor's beard and facial features are rendered in fine sculptural relief. A Ge'ez legend curves along the upper periphery, flanked by the regnal dates 1889 and 1913 in Latin numerals positioned to the left and right of the bust respectively. The Latin inscription MENELIK II EMPEROR OF ETHIOPIA arcs along the lower border. |
