| Obverse description | Facing bust of the Aksumite king rendered in stylized relief within a beaded inner circle, the sovereign depicted with large almond-shaped eyes, a prominent nose, and wearing what appears to be a tiara or headband with detailed hair treatment above. The bust is set against a plain field and is enclosed by a double border consisting of an inner beaded circle and an outer ring bearing the royal legend in Ge'ez-influenced Greek characters separated by cross motifs. The overall engraving style is characteristic of late Aksumite coinage, with a bold, frontal aesthetic typical of the early fifth century. |
