Reversbeschreibung	Horse's head facing right, rendered in a bold but schematic style, occupying the upper portion of the flan. A horizontal line divides the field, below which the value mark XII appears in large Roman numerals in the exergue. The horse motif is a direct reference to the ancient Carthaginian iconographic tradition. The overall execution is coarse, consistent with the debased municipal bronze coinage struck at Carthage under late Vandal administration.

Zusätzliche Informationen	These bronze fractions were struck under the last Vandal kings — almost certainly Hilderic and Gelimer — during the decade preceding Belisarius's swift North African campaign of 533, which collapsed the kingdom in under a year. Carthage had held the denomination system inherited from the late Roman West, and the 12 nummi piece occupied a practical middle register in daily transactions across a city that remained one of the Mediterranean's busiest ports despite a century of Vandal rule. The attribution spread across Hilderic and Gelimer reflects genuine scholarly uncertainty; the coinage of this final phase was neither systematically dated nor consistently mint-marked.
