Frequently asked questions
What periods of Ethiopian banknotes are represented in this shop’s catalog?
The Ethiopia category includes banknotes with date labels ranging from 1976 to 2005/2013. The represented periods include 1976, 1987 and 1991, along with slash-dated listings such as 1992/2000, 1998/2006, 2000/2008 and 2005/2013. These dates describe the notes listed in this shop’s catalog and should not be interpreted as a complete chronology of every Ethiopian banknote issue.
Which Ethiopian birr denominations and catalog references appear in the category?
The catalog represents 1, 5 and 10 birr notes. Examples include the 1976 1 birr PIC 30b, 5 birr PIC 31a and 10 birr PIC 32b. Other represented references include PIC 36 for 1 birr, PIC 43b for 10 birr, the PIC 46 series for 1 birr and the PIC 47 series for 5 birr. This selection reflects the shop’s catalog rather than all Ethiopian denominations or issues.
How can I distinguish the Ethiopian 1 birr notes listed in the catalog?
Use the full combination of date label and catalog reference rather than denomination alone. The represented 1 birr notes include 1976 PIC 30b, 1987 PIC 36, 1992/2000 PIC 46b, 1998/2006 PIC 46d and 2000/2008 PIC 46e. Because several entries share the same denomination, recording the complete PIC number—including its suffix letter—is the clearest way to identify the intended catalog variant.
Why are suffix letters important when collecting these Ethiopian banknotes?
Suffix letters form part of the catalog reference and should be retained when identifying a note. The Ethiopia category includes references such as PIC 30b, 31a, 32b, 43b, 46b, 46d, 46e, 47d and 47f. Notes sharing a base number, such as PIC 46 or PIC 47, should not be treated as the same catalog listing when their suffixes differ. Organizing by denomination, date label and complete reference helps keep variants distinct.
What details should a buyer check when selecting an Ethiopian banknote?
Check the denomination, displayed date label, complete PIC reference and stated grade in the individual listing. For example, a 1 birr note may be identified as PIC 30b, PIC 36 or one of several PIC 46 variants, while 5 birr examples include PIC 31a and PIC 47 variants. The supplied listings describe their notes as UNC. Matching every listed identifier is especially useful when seeking a specific Ethiopian issue or catalog variant.
How are slash-dated Ethiopian notes presented in this catalog?
Several Ethiopian listings use paired date labels separated by a slash. Examples include 1992/2000 for 1 birr PIC 46b, 1998/2006 for 1 birr PIC 46d and 5 birr PIC 47d, 2000/2008 for 1 birr PIC 46e, and 2005/2013 for 5 birr PIC 47f. Collectors should preserve the complete displayed date label when recording these notes rather than shortening it to either year.
