The National Coinage of Ethiopia Proof Coin Set (1977)
$60
SHIPPING OFFERED
In 1977, for the first time in 34 years, the coinage of Ethiopia was completely redesigned. Each of the five coins in this new coinage issue bears a new design never before used on Ethiopian coinage.
This collector's proof coin set is a cased set of five coins in various denominations ranging from one cent to fifty cents. The coins come in their original fitted case and they come complete with their Certificate of Authenticity (COA). It has the protective plastic top layer still in place as originally issued.
The COA reads: "This is to certify that the coin of the realm set accompanied by this certificate is an original Proof Set of the coinage of Ethiopia minted by The Franklin Mint under the authorisation of the National Bank of Ethiopia". It was certified on September 10, 1977 by William F. Krieg (Vice President, Collector Relations) for The Franklin Mint.
The fifty cent coin design symbolises the unity of Ethiopia's progressive forces behind the national democratic program of the government. The twenty-five-cent coin bears a tribute to the modern Ethiopian woman, emphasizing her contribution to production and the class struggle.
The ten-cent-coin portrays a very rare creature of nature: the Mountain Nyala, which can be found only in Ethiopia and dramatizes Ethiopia's determination to conserve its natural resources. The five-cent coin depicts a member of the people's militia, symbolizing the determination of the broad masses of revolutionary Ethiopia to defend the revolution from domestic as well as foreign subversion and create a new progressive society.
The one-cent coin portrays a farmer ploughing his land. This symbolizes the importance of agriculture in the country's economy. In addition, the obverse of each of these coins bears the date of issue and the traditional lion's head, symbolizing the strength, courage, and spirit of the Ethiopian people.
Pre-owned but good condition overall. The coins are in perfect condition, but there are slight signs of wear to the cardboard and the display case. We can post this set anywhere in Australia via express post for $10.
We have plenty of other interesting coins and other collectables in store!
