| Reverse description | Frontal bust of the king, facing, set within a wreath of two grain ears or palm fronds meeting at the apex of the field, above which a Latin cross is prominently displayed. The portrait is rendered in the schematic Aksumite style, with stylised facial features and a plain head without a circle surround, distinguishing this variety from related issues. The Greek legend * BЄΔY XAPIC (By the Grace of God) is distributed around the periphery outside the wreath. A dotted border runs along the coin's irregular edge. |
