| Obverse description | Draped bust of King Ezana facing right, wearing a headcloth, set within a solid inner circle surrounded by a reeded border. The royal legend is divided by the effigy on either side. The portrait exhibits the characteristic Aksumite artistic style, with stylized drapery rendered in fine relief typical of hammered silver coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | Draped bust of King Ezana facing right, wearing a headcloth, enclosed within a solid inner circle. The royal titulary legend is divided by the effigy on either side, rendered in Greek characters. The design mirrors the obverse portrait in style, reflecting the standard Aksumite convention of repeating the royal image on both faces of silver denominations of this series. |
