EE 1889 BIRR

Looks like this warrior has been through a few battles but I like him.

I like 'em with character like that!

Two more with character:

Ethiopia Birr EE 1889 (AD 1897)

Ethiopia Birr EE 1895 (AD 1903)
This one was mounted at one time.

Mounted, unmounted, with scars, the women adore men with scars especially when they happen to be heads of State.

Beautiful coin, always loved it.

Nice. I bought one like that in an antique market in Addis Ababa as a teenager, and it's still one of my favorite coins.

This is a nicer example that I got much later:
