| Obverse description | Left-facing draped bust of Emperor Haile Selassie I in military uniform, rendered in moderate relief against a flat field. The effigy depicts the Emperor with a short beard and close-cropped hair, wearing an epauleted jacket with a necktie, characteristic of his imperial portraiture. Below the bust, along the lower portion of the field, appears the Ethiopian calendar date in Ge'ez numerals. A raised rim encircles the design. |
