| Obverse description | Frontal effigy of a crowned and draped king seated upon a throne, holding a cross-topped scepter in the right hand. The royal figure is rendered in the characteristic flat, hieratic style of Aksumite coinage. A surrounding legend in Ge'ez script encircles the central design within the coin's field. |
