This was posted on another forum and I've looked and looked and I can't find anything. Any ideas? " I found a small coin tonite in my pasture(this place just keeps giving) has a man's profile on the front with some strange symbols below the bust. On the back is a lion wearing a crown and holding a staff with a flag. and some more strange symbols below it. I got no idea??? They are just odd shaped squiggles. one looks like an s laying on its side with a dash over and under it. The writing almost looks islamic but not sure. It's a bit smaller than a dime and the same color as a copper penny." This is all the information that I have on this thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

She is unable to post a pic :) But she found out what it is though. It's an Ethiopian 1 cent. It was minted for only one year, 1944. Sorry about no pic too, thanks man. :)
