A new coin.
This Ethiopia 20 birr silver commemorative coin issued in 1998 celebrates UNICEF and the universal message of protecting children and preserving cultural heritage. Certified PR69 by PCGS, this beautiful proof issue combines humanitarian symbolism with traditional Ethiopian imagery, making it an attractive collectible for both world coin enthusiasts and thematic collectors.
The reverse features two children dressed in traditional clothing performing a dance in front of rural Ethiopian huts with rounded roofs. Around them are decorative inscriptions in local script and English, while stylized sun rays spread outward behind the figures, emphasizing vitality, hope, and cultural continuity. The opposite side displays the UNICEF emblem with silhouettes of an adult and child positioned beneath a globe, framed by laurel branches symbolizing peace and unity. Additional inscriptions commemorate the “Children of the World” theme together with the denomination and dates, all struck with sharp frosted relief and mirrored proof surfaces.
This coin honors UNICEF’s mission to support children worldwide while simultaneously highlighting Ethiopia’s cultural traditions and identity. Struck in silver with impressive proof quality and preserved in PR69 condition by PCGS, this commemorative issue offers both artistic beauty and meaningful historical context.
