Was browsing through my world coin bag and stumbled on this 1 that I have no clue on. I am just curious to know when / where it is from. Thanks.

    It is from Ethiopia. The gentleman portrayed is Hailie Selassie (the Ras Tafari), the last Emperor of that country. He died in 1975, shortly after he was deposed.

    Without pulling out the book, your coin is probably from around 1955.

    Your photos are not too good.
