| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bust of an imperial effigy facing right, depicted as pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed, rendered in a barbarous and schematic style characteristic of Germanic imitative coinage. The portrait is encircled by a border of evenly spaced raised pellets, a common decorative convention on late antique nummi and their imitations. The workmanship is crude, reflecting the hand of an unofficial or tribal die-cutter imitating late Roman or Vandal prototypes. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain Latin cross occupies the center of the reverse field, rendered in bold relief consistent with the simplified iconography typical of barbarous nummus imitations. The cross is surrounded by a border of evenly spaced raised pellets arranged in a circular pattern, closely mirroring the dotted border found on Vandal Kingdom nummi of the early sixth century. The reverse field is otherwise blank, with no legend or exergual inscription, underscoring the purely imitative and non-official nature of the issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
These anonymous struck bronzes circulated in North Africa during the Vandal occupation, produced by tribes or local workshops operating outside the official Carthaginian mint structure. Whether they represent deliberate monetary policy or opportunistic gap-filling remains unresolved — the issuing authority has never been conclusively identified. The extreme lightness relative to official Vandal nummi suggests either metal scarcity or a deliberate reduction in flan size for local exchange.
