Zauditu gold Pattern Werk (1/8 Birr) EE 1917 (1925) AU55 NGC, Addis Ababa mint, KM-X3.1, Gill-Y-21. Variety with denomination obliterated. Struck with the reverse die for the 1/32 Birr type of Menelik II, the denomination officially effaced at the Addis Ababa mint. A fetching and highly scarce Pattern issue, lesser-seen above this level when it is encountered at all. Despite clear wisps that bound the grade, the strike is very nearly that of a finer coin.
