Ethiopia

King Haile Selassie, all dated Ethiopian Era (EE) 1936 (AD 1944):


Ethiopia 1 Cent EE 1936 (1944)


Ethiopia 5 Cents EE 1936 (1944)


Ethiopia 10 Cents EE 1936 (1944)


Ethiopia 25 Cents EE 1936 (1944)

These coins are supposedly very popular with Rastafarians who admire Haile Selassie.
I have had them since the 1960's.

I love those Ethiopian coins!

They are really nice ones!

Nice coins, especially the 10 and 25 centimes.

These were made from 1944 to about 1974 -- probably in the millions, and used to be distributed in bulk by Littleton and other companies. But these sets often sell for multiples of Krause values, indicating that the actual survivng population in nice condition might be fairly small.

The silver 50 centimes seems even scarcer in nice condition.

Now have the 50 cent silver coin:
