Just got around to taking some pictures of one of the coins in the lot.&nbsp; Kind of neglected the last coin due to some of the Byzantine coins I picked up a while go.&nbsp; Bumped into it again this morning when I was cleaning my den.&nbsp; This particular coin is quite scarce and not frequently seen in comparison to Armah&#039;s other coin.&nbsp; Here is the full attribution, including the Ge&#039;ez legends, transcriptions, and translations.&nbsp; Let me know if you don&#039;t see the Ge&#039;ez legends.&nbsp; Unicode sometimes acts up on this forum...</p><p><br /></p><p><b> Aksumite Empire: Armah (ca. 630-650) AR Unit (Hahn, Aksumite 71.2; Munro-Hay Type 151; BMC Axum 566) </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Obv: ነገሠ አረመሐ (<i>neguš ’ArmaH; King Armah</i>); Crowned bust of Armah facing right, holding cruciform scepter; cross-tipped grain ear to left</p><p>Rev: ሠሀለ ወሰለመ (<i>šáhl wa-salám; Mercy and Peace</i>); Church façade </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_Hahn-71_2.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><b> Aksumite Empire: Armah (ca. 630-650) Æ Unit (Hahn, Aksumite 72a; Munro-Hay Type 153; BMC Axum 577) </b></p><p><br /></p><p>Obv: ነገሠ አረመሐ (<i>neguš ’ArmaH; King Armah</i>); Crowned and draped full-length figure of Armah, wearing beaded necklace, enthroned right, holding cruciform scepter</p><p>Rev: ፈሠሐ ለየከነ ለአሐዘበ (<i>feššeHá la-yekun la-’aHzáb; Let there be joy to the people</i>); Openwork cross with central gilding connected to ring by stem; wheat stalks emerging from ring</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="https://www.forumancientcoins.com/gallery/albums/userpics/36484/normal_BMC_Axum-577.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Go ahead and post your Axumite coins!&nbsp; I would love to see them...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
