| Obverse description | The central vignette portrays a farmer guiding a pair of oxen drawing a traditional plough across an open field, set against an intaglio-rendered mountainous landscape. The issuing authority's name is inscribed at top in both Amharic and English, flanking guilloche patterning in orange tones, while a segmented security thread is embedded toward the left margin. Serial numbers appear in black at upper left and lower right, with a lion's head watermark area visible within the left underprint. |
