Vandals Palm tree

(1/1)

Victor:
This coin is an anonymous nummi which is most likely late Vandalic or contemporary with the reign of Justinian I, so circa A.D. 450. This date is corroborated by hoard evidence. It is probably best classified as pseudo-imperial, as it is not certain if it was officially issued and they usually have no legend or are illegible.
