Nummus - Hilderic Carthage, monogram

Beschrijving voorzijde	Pearl-diademed, draped, and cuirassed imperial bust facing right, rendered in the late antique tradition on a small flan. The effigy, though diminutive in scale, retains the conventional iconographic attributes of a late Roman ruler, with visible drapery folds and cuirass detailing. The field is largely plain, consistent with the minimal design of Vandal nummi. The portrait is crudely struck, as typical of this denomination and period.

Beschrijving keerzijde	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.
