Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Gunthamund, who was the king of the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa from 484 to 496 AD. The Vandal Kingdom was a Germanic tribe that had conquered much of North Africa, including the city of Carthage, where this coin was minted. The coin's design and inscriptions reflect the cultural and political influences of the Vandal Kingdom during this time period.
