Zusätzliche Informationen

This piece belongs to a commemorative series issued under Haile Selassie I in 1972, decades after Zauditu's death in 1930. Zauditu was the first woman to reign as Empress of Ethiopia in her own right, ruling from 1916 until her death — officially attributed to typhoid contracted shortly after the Battle of Anchem, though contemporaries suspected the shock of her estranged husband Ras Gugsa Welle's defeat and death in that same battle played a role.

The 1972 series was struck at the British Royal Mint and timed to coincide with the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Adwa.
