| Obverse description | A boldly rendered, stylized bust of a roaring Ethiopian lion occupies nearly the entire field, facing right with mouth open and mane depicted in dramatic flowing relief lines. The Ge'ez country name legend arcs along the upper rim, while the date in the Ethiopian calendar appears in Ge'ez numerals at the lower center of the field below the lion's jaw. The design, engraved by Stuart Devlin, is noted for its vigorous, almost sculptural treatment of the lion's mane and facial features. The overall composition is contained within a plain raised rim. |
