ETHIOPIAN MEDAL HAILE SELASSIE LION OF JUDAH

The coronation medal of Emperor Haile Selassie I was issued to celebrate the 1930 accession of the emperor to the throne. This silver medal features a profile of the emperor, in coronation attire and imperial crown, facing to the left on the obverse. The inscription around the front of the obverse says "Haile Selassie the First" in ge'ez.

The reverse reads as follows: "Ethiopia shall reach her hand unto God", the line from Psalm 68, the song of David, from the old testament of the bible in ge'ez around the rim, which in the center shows a trilobed pattern with a small trinity star toward the bottom and ornamentation in the center.
