Old coin ID

[precise26]

Can anybody help ID this ? Any thoughts on its age? I believe it is not from the US seeing that it came in a pile of foreign coins(various countries).

It looks like an Ethiopian bronze 25 cent . Haile Salassie on front and the Lion Of Judah on the back .
possibly 1936 .

Good call, Mojjax!

It certainly looks like an Ethiopian coin of Haile Selassie, c. 1936. However, without any indication of actual size or clear legends/inscriptions, I'm not sure about the denomination, as all of the coins in this series bear the same designs.

I'm showing a date of 1944 on this one for the bronze 1,5 or 10 the 25 was scalloped to the inside rim

The earlier 25¢ was not scalloped, however. According to the 2007 Standard Catalog of World Coins, the plain variety was withdrawn in 1952 and replaced by the scalloped one.
