Descrizione del rovescio	Smaller secondary draped bust of the king facing right, wearing a headcloth, set within a circular border; a disc on crescent appears above the bust, dividing the encircling Ge'ez legend. The diminutive portrait within a circle is a hallmark of Aksumite coinage design, distinguishing the reverse from the larger obverse effigy.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Wazeba remains one of the more obscure Aksumite rulers — no contemporary written source names him, and his chronological placement around the early fourth century is reconstructed almost entirely from his coinage. The silver triens is unusual within the Aksumite series, which overwhelmingly favored gold for its smallest denominations; the appearance of silver at this fraction suggests either a specific transactional need or a disruption in gold supply that current scholarship has not resolved. MHAC nos. 17–18 distinguish minor obverse die variations within the type.
