Anybody here an expert on Ethiopian coins?

 

I have what I thought was an 1887 / 1895 ⅛ Birr, but there's at least one difference between my coin and the one pictured here:

 

N#41113

 

So is mine just a copy or is it a variety not catalogued on Numista or what's happening here?

 

PS: bonus points if you post pics of your coin for comparison!

 

I don't get

Isn't your coin this one?
N#11934

I think you're right!

 

I acquired two of these from another collector, and he had the denomination as 1/8 birr. But the pictures on Numista show the 1/8 birr should have the engraver's name on the reverse! My coins don't have the engraver's name. Just like the 1 ghersh you mentioned. You must be right. Thanks!

This is a counterfeit!

I don't believe in sjoelunds rating.

He's showing another big value. The coin is looking authentic and used, could help to remove it from holder and detect weight and diameter.

My coin is NOT in a holder. The measurements were made with tools with an accuracy of 0.01 gr/mm!

sorry, i misunderstood your first input.

Counterfeit was not the rating for tcon's coin but for your example and then it is obviously right.
