Watch List notes:

† - Ethiopia, gold medal, Acquisition of four aircraft from France constituting the beginning of the Ethiopian Air Force, EE.1921 (1928), Addis Ababa, bust of Haile Selassie three-quarters l., rev. aeroplane r., legends above and below, 43.5mm., wt. 25.49gms. (Gill RT13), good extremely fine, very rare. The medal commemorates the establishment of the Imperial Ethiopian Air Force. The first plane delivered was, in fact, a Potez 25-A2 bi-plane, not the single-wing plane depicted on the medal. This is one of the rarest and most sought-after examples of Ethiopian numismatics - we know of only two examples sold in the last 30 years. (£12000 - 15000)
