Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Dinar - Hailé Selassié I (Pattern) 1923 (1931) from Ethiopian Empire (Ethiopia) made of Silver weighing 14.45 g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as the national currency of Ethiopia. Instead, it was only used as a pattern coin, and only a limited number of coins were minted. This makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of African currency.
