| Additional information |
Justinian I's North African mint at Carthage reopened following Belisarius's reconquest of the Vandal kingdom in 533–534, making any pre-534 attribution for Carthage issues from this reign essentially impossible — the mint did not exist under Byzantine control until that campaign concluded. The small Є denomination served the lowest tier of daily transactions in a province being administratively rebuilt from scratch after a century of Vandal rule.
Carthaginian issues of this type are notoriously poorly struck, a product of provincial die-cutting well removed from Constantinople's standards.
