| Reverse description | Draped bust of King Endubis facing right, identical in type to the obverse, wearing the distinctive royal headcloth with frontal ornament and triangular trailing ribbon. A pellet on crescent device above the effigy divides the surrounding Greek legend into two registers. The field is plain and the composition is enclosed within a neat border of dots, consistent with the hammered fabric of early Aksumite silver coinage. |
