| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of King Aphilas facing, depicted frontally with a diadem or crown, set within the central field. The effigy is rendered in a schematic Aksumite style characteristic of early fourth-century bronze coinage. A circular Greek legend surrounds the bust, reading AΦIΛAC BACIΛЄYC AξѠ, identifying the king and his royal title. The flan is irregular and the fields show the typical rough surface of hammered Aksumite bronze issues. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised plant or wheat ear occupies the central field, depicted with a single upright stem bearing multiple fronds or leaves splaying symmetrically on either side, a recurring botanical motif on Aksumite bronze coinage of this period. The design is boldly struck in relief against a plain, slightly irregular field. A Greek marginal legend surrounds the central device, reading MITѠN BICI ΔIMHΛH, identifying a regional official or locality associated with the coin's issue. The flan edges are uneven, consistent with the hand-struck production technique of the Aksumite mint. |
