| Additional information |
After Theoderic's Ostrogoths defeated and killed the Gepid king Thrasaric at the Battle of Sirmium in 504, the city passed under Ostrogothic control — yet Gepid moneyers continued striking fractional silver in the names of both the Gothic king and the Eastern emperor, a formulaic deference that kept the coinage politically palatable to Constantinople. The horizontal S on this issue is a mint mark specific to Sirmium, distinguishing it from otherwise similar fractions produced elsewhere in the Gothic sphere.
