Gersem (c. 600) was a King of the Kingdom of Aksum in Northeast Africa. He is primarily known through the coins that were 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 Gersem is assumed to be the last coin in gold.1
Gersem was succeeded atop the throne by Armah.
