| Obverse description | Draped bust of the king facing right, wearing a decorated headcloth ornamented along the front, all contained within a raised inner circle. The portrait is rendered in the distinctive late Aksumite style, with summary facial features typical of anonymous bronze issues of this period. A partial Greek legend is distributed around the bust within the outer field. |
