The coinage of Carthage was first minted from the 5th century BCE. Initially adopting the drachma, the Carthaginians later minted silver shekel coins. Designs were instantly recognisable, as intended, and included famous figures such as Hannibal or local flora and fauna like the palm tree and elephant.
A new range of Ethiopian coins appeared in 1903. The Bank of Ethiopia was formed in 1931. At that time the Birr became equal to the mentonnyas. 1 Birr = 100 metonnyas. During the mid 1930s the currencies circulated were the Birr and the Talari. From 1936 to 1941 Italy occupied Ethopia and the Italian Lira was used.
