Ethiopia, King Menelik II, 1 Birr? Fake

4 posts
I have also got some informations about this coin, and it seem to be fake (as I have supposed previously).

However, I will be glad to find some more informations about it... for example, what is written under the lion, and which seems to make a big difference to te genuine coin?

I hope that someone here has seen the similar type (of a fake?), and will be able to tell me something more.

Thank you!



His "hat" (excuse my ignorance) is completely wrong?
 I remembered this topic (below) from one year ago - admittedly a 1/8 Birr, so not a 1 Birr, but it was pointed out that on the headband there is a cross (like on yours also) which should not be there - I think.

Definitely a fake, based on the fake wear on the top of the obverse.
