Anchored in the rugged Ethiopian Highlands of the Horn of Africa with Addis Ababa as its diplomatic capital, Ethiopia is one of the few ancient civilizations in the world to have struck indigenous gold, silver, and bronze coinage during the Aksumite Empire (c. 270–650 AD). Following the widespread circulation of 1780 Maria Theresa thalers and Emperor Menelik II's 1894 birr, the National Bank of Ethiopia issues the modern Ethiopian birr (ETB) and santim bearing the Lion of Judah.
