| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is entirely blank, presenting a flat, unadorned field consistent with its classification as a reverse trial piece. A small rectangular assay or control mark inscribed 'MGT' is visible at the lower centre of the field. The gold-plated bronze surface bears the characteristic appearance of a trial striking, with no design, legend, or decorative element applied. This blank reverse confirms the piece was produced solely to test the obverse die or planchet specification. |

The 1966 Golden Jubilee commemoratives marked forty years since Haile Selassie's coronation as Emperor — though the count runs from his 1930 formal crowning, not his earlier regency. This piece is a reverse trial strike, produced to test and approve the die before committing to the gold proof edition. Trial pieces in gold-plated bronze were standard practice for Ethiopian commemorative issues of this period, allowing the Addis Ababa authorities and the contracting mint to assess relief and detail without expending precious metal.
The actual gold 50-dollar coins were struck by the British firm Spink & Son acting as intermediary, with production handled in Europe.
