| Obverse description | A large intaglio vignette of a standing lion occupies the centre of the note, flanked by a circular guilloche underprint on each side; the left circle encloses a vignette of the Bank of Ethiopia building, while the right circle contains the crowned Lion of Judah bearing a cross-staff — the imperial arms. The bank name appears in English at the top and in Ge'ez (Amharic) script below, with the denomination in both French and Amharic, the place of issue 'Addis Ababa' in English and Amharic, and the bearer clause in French and Amharic across the lower left. The printer's imprint 'Bradbury, Wilkinson & C° L° Graveurs, Londres' appears at the foot of the note. |
