| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field bears a large letter 'D', serving as a numeral denoting the denomination, rendered in a bold, slightly irregular style. The letter is surrounded by a wreath or circular border, itself crudely executed and consistent with the barbarous workshop practice of the Vandal Carthage mint. The overall design is simple and functional, with no additional legend. The flan is irregular and the strike uneven, as is typical for this issue. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gunthamund ruled the Vandal Kingdom from 484 to 496, succeeding Huneric after a period of dynastic instability that had seen the throne contested along family lines established by Geiseric's succession law. The Carthage mint under Vandal authority was one of the few western mints still producing bronze coinage at this point, continuing a Roman administrative infrastructure the Vandals had largely absorbed rather than dismantled.
At under 0.6 grams, these nummi represent the extreme terminal degradation of the late Roman bronze denominational system — a century of weight reduction compressed into something barely functional as currency.
