| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Endubis facing right, wearing a headcloth ornamented at the front and terminating in a triangular ribbon at the rear. Above the effigy, a pellet resting on a crescent bisects the Greek legend disposed around the periphery. The entire design is enclosed within a border of dots, characteristic of early Aksumite coinage. |
