Reverse description A finely detailed full-length figure of a Walia ibex (Capra walie) standing to the right atop a rocky outcrop, rendered in high relief with careful attention to the texture of its coat and the sweeping curve of its large ridged horns. Ge'ez denomination numerals appear in two lines to the upper left of the field, and the Ge'ez inscription for 'Birr' is arranged vertically along the right field. The design is set against a mirror-polished field with a plain inner border.
