Lepton - Ezanas

Ezanas ruled Aksum during one of the most consequential religious transitions in ancient African history — his reign saw the kingdom's official conversion to Christianity, making Aksum among the earliest states in the world to adopt it as a state religion. Coins issued under Ezanas document this shift directly, with earlier issues reflecting pre-Christian iconography and later ones incorporating the cross. This bronze lepton falls within that transitional window, placing it squarely in the reign's most historically charged phase.
