| Beschrijving keerzijde | Small draped bust facing right, wearing a headcloth terminating in a triangular ribbon falling behind the neck. A pellet on crescent device appears above the bust, dividing the encircling Greek legend into two portions. The compact, summary modeling of the portrait is characteristic of the earliest Aksumite bronze coinage, reflecting limited die-engraving resources relative to the gold issues of the same reign. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Aphilas is among the earliest documented Aksumite rulers, and his coinage — struck before Ezana's conversion made Aksum the first state to place the Christian cross on its coins — reflects a transitional moment in Ethiopian numismatic history. The gilt and ungilded variants within his bronze issues suggest deliberate production tiers, possibly tied to ceremonial or tributary function rather than everyday exchange.
