| Obverse description | Draped half-length bust of King Israel facing right, wearing a tiara and a circular earring. Flanking the effigy to the left and right are stylised ears of barley, a common Aksumite royal device. The Greek legend BACIΛΙ AξⲰΜΙ (meaning 'King of Aksum') is disposed around the bust within a circular border. The portrait is rendered in the late Aksumite hammered style, with schematic facial features characteristic of the period. |
