| Obverse description | Crude diademed bust of King Thrasamund facing right, rendered in a highly schematic late antique style characteristic of Vandal coinage. The portrait is of rough, irregular execution typical of hammered small bronze issues of this period, with facial features barely discernible due to the size of the flan and the limitations of the die-cutting. A partial Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading D N RC SAMVNDS, an abbreviated form of Dominus Noster Thrasamundus (Our Lord Thrasamund). The field shows significant surface roughness consistent with the irregularity of the flan. |
