Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Birr - Haile Selassie I (Pattern) 1923 (1931) from Ethiopian Empire (Ethiopia) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as the standard currency of Ethiopia. Instead, it was only used as a pattern coin, which makes it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
