Menelik II 1/2 Birr EE 1888 (1895)-A AU55 PCGS, Paris mint, KM4. Mintage: 200. A scarce fraction that is seldom available on the market, some graphite dirt deposits around the features providing a strong visual contrast between fields and devices which might otherwise be lacking with the even champagne silver of the flan. Traces of wear and handling appear in-line both with the type, which generally functioned more as personal adornment than as a circulating currency, and the assigned grade.
