Description: 1890’s Ethiopia 1/4 Birr, struck in Paris (“A” mintmark) a fractional silver issue of Emperor Menelik II. Composed of .835 silver, this coin features the crowned Lion of Judah on the obverse and a dignified portrait of Menelik II on the reverse, both showing strong design elements. Issued during a pivotal era in Ethiopian history, this coin reflects the stability and modernization efforts that followed the Battle of Adwa (1896), where Ethiopia—under Menelik II—secured a decisive victory against Italy and preserved its sovereignty. A meaningful historical piece and an excellent addition for collectors of Ethiopian, African, or 19th-century world silver coinage. Please review all photos to assess condition.
