| Additional information |
The Vangiones were a Germanic tribe settled in the upper Rhine region, eventually becoming concentrated around the area of modern Worms. Their silver fractional coinage — among the smallest struck in the late La Tène monetary sphere — reflects participation in a regional exchange network rather than any centralized monetary authority. Issues this light were almost certainly used in high-value-per-weight transactions, possibly tied to mercenary payment or cross-tribal exchange along the Rhine corridor.
