Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Emperor Theodros II, who was the ruler of Ethiopia from 1855 until his death in 1868. He is remembered for his efforts to modernize and centralize the Ethiopian state, and his reign saw significant political and economic reforms. The coin was issued in 1964, but it was not put into circulation until 1972, and it was made of silver with a purity of .925. It weighs 20 grams and is considered a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for everyday use as a form of payment.
