| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Wazeba facing right, wearing a headcloth; the effigy is rendered in the characteristic Aksumite style with a disc on crescent symbol positioned above the portrait in the field. The royal legend in Ge'ez script appears around the bust, identifying the ruler. The overall style reflects the transitional Aksumite coinage tradition blending indigenous and Hellenistic artistic influences. |
