Commentary

La pièce de 10 dollars dont 28.000 pièces furent frappées au lieu des 75.000 prévues est la plus petite de la série. Ces pièces commémoraient les 75 ans du Négus et le 50ème anniversaire de la prise de pouvoir personnelle. En Éthiopie, le Dollar (E$) ou Bir est divisé en 100 santeems.
The $10 coin, of which 28,000 were minted instead of the planned 75,000, is the smallest in the series. These coins commemorated the 75th birthday of the Negus and the 50th anniversary of his personal seizure of power. In Ethiopia, the Dollar (E$) or Bir is divided into 100 santeems.
