| 背面描述 | A plain Latin cross displayed prominently at the center of the field, with arms of equal length, set upon a stepped or simple base. Small decorative elements or pellets appear in the angles between the cross arms. The reverse is bordered by a beaded or dotted circle, and a partial debased Latin legend surrounds the design, consistent with Vandal coinage of the Carthage mint under the reign of Huneric (477–484). |

Issued under Huneric, son of Gaiseric, during a reign defined by increasingly brutal persecution of Nicene Christians across North Africa. The Vandal kingdom had no tradition of minting its own coinage when it seized Carthage in 439 — these small bronzes represent the kingdom's cautious, decades-delayed entry into civic coin production, likely driven by the practical need to pay urban workers and soldiers in a denomination Rome had long supplied.
At under a gram, these are among the smallest coins the Carthage mint ever produced under any administration.
