Interesting fact
The Vandal Kingdom, which issued this coin, was a Germanic kingdom that existed in North Africa from the 5th to the 6th century. The Vandals were known for their expertise in shipbuilding and navigation, and they established a powerful navy that allowed them to control the Mediterranean Sea and raid the coastal cities of Europe and Africa. Despite their military prowess, the Vandal Kingdom was eventually conquered by the Byzantine Empire in the 6th century.
