Markomih03 Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Hi everyone, I have this big coin/medal/medallion which I can't identify. Its diameter is ca. 47-48 mm and it has some strange letters engraved so I can't identify the script nor language. Does anyone know anything about this? Please see the pictures and kindly post here if you have any ideas. Thanks a lot in advance!!! Marko Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

constanius Posted January 14, 2017 Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 It is Emperor Haile Selassie I and Empress Menen on the obverse, looks to be perhaps a coronation, or coronation jubilee medal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
