Description:
2005 50 cents - I'm not positive about the date on this one. The first character I recognize from the numeral chart in the Krause catalog, but the other two are different. I found a website (www.geez.org/Numerals/ ) that says the second and third characters are the short form of the Ahmaric words for thousand and five. According to the website, these syllables are often used with western numbers, but rarely with Ethiopic ones. I also assume that there must have been a switch to C.E. dating.
