Description: A nice extremely fine or much better Banknote from Ethiopia. This is the undated 1966, one dollar currency note issued by the National Bank of Ethiopia. The front of the banknote is green on multi colored underprint. It depicts the image of emperor Haile Selassie at right and the image of Massawa Harbor City at center. The back depicts the image of the Ethiopian Arms which is a crowned lion passant with a flagged cross in its paw. The banknote does not display the date anywhere. It displays the denomination on both the front and back. It has one signature on the front. This particular note has the serial number FE719547. The note retains most of its original stiffness and if did not have a light fold and the finger prints on the back, we would grade it About Uncirculated to Uncirculated.
