Description: A nice very fine or better Banknote from Ethiopia. This is the no date 1966, ten dollars currency note issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia. The front of the banknote is dark red on multicolor background. The front depicts the image of emperor Haile Selassie at right and the image of the building housing the National Bank of Ethiopia in Addis Ababa to the left. The back, which is red in color, depicts the image of the Ethiopian Arms which is a crowned lion with a flagged cross in its paw. The banknote does not display the date anywhere.

Condition: I would grade this banknote as a nice very fine or better with all the details being well preserved. The note is intact and has no tears or splits. It has several vertical folds but no horizontal folds that we could find. It is soiled but has no stains. The note has no pinholes, and no graffiti. The corners of the note are intact but show rounding and light bumping. The edges are intact but do show light roughness. A nice note in original condition that is problem free. Would make a nice addition to your collection. Please see photo for additional condition information.
