Ashrafi Público Deposited
A small silver coin struck by the Emirs of El Harrar, a province of Abyssinia. About twenty-two of these were computed to a Dollar, though the value fluctuated under the different emirs. It was formerly a gold coin.
In the modern Abyssian coinage it is a money of account, three being equal to a Talari.
