Interesting fact
The Vandal Kingdom, which issued this coin, was a Germanic kingdom that existed in North Africa from 429 to 534 AD. The Vandals were known for their expertise in naval warfare and their raids on the Mediterranean coastal cities. Despite their reputation for brutality, they also played a significant role in the spread of Christianity in North Africa.
