Husqcvarna Model 17 a this here is described as a 24 ga double rifle
https://auctionet.com/de/4647424-husqvarna-modell-17-kal-24-bis-nr-82007

right barrel rifled - I believe for the swedish 50 mm long brass case and left barrel straight rifling than for the 2 1/2" = 65 mm case and roundball
nice little blackpowder toy

This kind of rifle was quite popular among those finnish bear hunters whose have higher educatinon and better income level than ordinary hunters who still used muzzleloaders. The best know person was Bernt Höök with 134 bears.

thats a good question, I take a look for the lion of juda and he have the crown of ethiopia on his head and hold a stick with a cross

this looks more like the sword of islam, have seen it before but don't know where.
maybe in east asia? malysia ?

A lion with sword is a part of the national emblem of Sri Lanka (formerly Ceylon) as I understand it. Not sure of the actual name of the deity...

...but probably a common representation in religions that humanize animals.

Presumably Ceylon would have been part of the Raj at the time of that firearm's initial sale.

On the coin, the crosses on the staff and the crown, and the photo look Ethiopian to me.

The gentleman in uniform looks like the Emperor, Haile Selassie.

The gun is different.
