| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Wazeba facing right, wearing a cloth headband or diadem; a disc resting on a crescent appears above the bust in the upper field, a characteristic Aksumite royal symbol. The surrounding legend in Ge'ez script names the ruler. The portrait is rendered in the stylized manner typical of early Aksumite silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Smaller secondary draped bust of the king facing right, wearing a headcloth, set within a circular border; a disc on crescent appears above the bust, dividing the encircling Ge'ez legend. The diminutive portrait within a circle is a hallmark of Aksumite coinage design, distinguishing the reverse from the larger obverse effigy. |
