Gersem of Axum
Gersem (c. 600) was a King of the Kingdom of Aksum in Northeast Africa. He is primarily known through the Aksumite currency that was minted during his reign.

Munro-Hay suggests that either Gersem or Armah were the last Aksumite Kings to issue coins. However, no gold coins belonging to Armah have been found, and the Gersem mint is assumed to be the last coin in gold.1
Gersem was succeeded atop the throne by Armah.

gollark: I only have Minecraft, FTL, Slay the Spire, TIS-100, Factorio, Civlization V, sort of thing.
gollark: Apparently I have 17GB of games, because I play sensible games which do not use half my disk for textures.
gollark: I was foolish and only bought a 120GB disk for my laptop, so most of my stuff can only fit on my server(s).
gollark: I have a lot of big `node_modules` folders, 52GB of random media (TV shows, some youtubers' videos, sort of thing), random assorted archiving, a gigabyte or so in ebooks, 600MB of storage used on my personal notes wiki (which contains images and occasional videos and whatnot), 2GB of music, and 1GB of memes.
gollark: I'm limited in storage capacity, but I do use quite a lot, and not only on games.
