Interesting fact
The Aksumite Empire, which issued the Tremissis - Ebana coin, was known for its advanced agriculture, architecture, and trade networks. One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a king on one side and a cross on the other, reflecting the empire's conversion to Christianity in the 4th century.
