| 正面描述 | Frontal draped bust of King Aphilas, wearing a headcloth, depicted facing the viewer in the Aksumite royal portrait tradition. A pellet resting on a crescent appears above the effigy, serving as a royal or celestial symbol. The encircling legend commences with the final letter of the royal title, a distinctive epigraphic arrangement characteristic of Aphilas coinage. The inscription runs in Greek around the bust within the field. The overall style reflects the blended Hellenistic and indigenous Aksumite artistic conventions of the early fourth century. |

| 背面描述 | A small draped bust of the king facing right, wearing a headcloth, rendered within a beaded or dotted circle that is closed by a single dot at the top and another at the bottom, forming a complete border. Above the bust, a pellet on crescent motif divides the surrounding Greek legend into two segments. The reverse legend references Aksum and the epithet or place-name Dimele, consistent with the titulature known from other Aphilas issues. The compact, finely detailed bust within the circle is a hallmark of Aksumite bronze coinage of this period. The general execution, though struck on an irregular flan, demonstrates competent die engraving in the Hellenistic tradition. |
