| Reverse description | Central field displays the value mark D · N XXV within a linear border, denoting 25 Denarii, executed in bold incuse letters in the hammered style typical of Vandal silver issues from the Carthage mint. The denomination numerals are prominently rendered, with a horizontal bar above the inscription on certain die varieties serving as an abbreviation marker. A beaded or linear outer border frames the inscription. The reverse is unadorned save for the value legend, reflecting the utilitarian monetary character of Vandal fractional coinage. The flan surface shows typical die wear and irregular striking characteristic of late antique hammered silver. |
