Description

This 10 Santeem coin was issued in 1977 (Ethiopian Era 1969) during the rule of Ethiopia’s Provisional Military Administrative Council (Derg). Struck in non-magnetic nickel brass, it weighs 4.5 grams, measures 23 mm in diameter, and features a durable milled edge designed for everyday circulation.

The obverse depicts the roaring head of the Ethiopian lion facing right, accompanied by inscriptions in the Ge’ez script and the Ethiopian calendar date below. The bold design symbolizes Ethiopia’s strength and national identity.

The reverse features the Mountain Nyala antelope, one of Ethiopia’s most iconic native species, with the denomination and additional Ge’ez inscriptions incorporated into the design.

A desirable addition for collectors of African and world coinage, this issue combines distinctive wildlife artwork, historical significance from the Derg era, and an attractive non-magnetic brass composition, making it a noteworthy piece for any international coin collection.
