Ethiopia 10 Santeem Coin – Majestic Lion & Ox Design (1996–2004)

Description

This 10 Santeem coin from the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia (1996–2004) showcases Ethiopia’s rich cultural and natural heritage. Struck in brass-plated steel, the coin features a bold lion’s head on one side—symbolizing strength and national pride—and a graceful ox on the other, representing Ethiopia’s agrarian roots.

Its magnetic properties, detailed relief, and compact 23 mm size make it an eye-catching piece for collectors of world coins, especially those drawn to African nations, wildlife themes, or post-1990s currency.

An excellent collectible for numismatists seeking rare and meaningful pieces with historical and artistic value.
