| Reverse description | Central field occupied by the royal Vandal monogram of Hilderic, composed of interlaced Latin letters forming a ligature characteristic of Vandal coinage of this reign. The monogram is boldly rendered within a plain, unadorned field, with no surrounding legend or decorative border. This type of royal cypher monogram is a hallmark of Vandal nummi struck at Carthage during the reigns of Thrasamund, Hilderic, and Gelimer. The flan is irregular and the strike is typical of hand-hammered minor bronze coinage of the period. |
