Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 50 Denarii - Hilderic (Carthage) (523-530) from Vandal Kingdom made of Silver weighing 1.18 g is that it features an image of King Hilderic, who was the first Vandal king to issue coins with his own image, rather than the traditional image of the Roman Emperor. This indicates that the Vandal Kingdom was beginning to assert its independence and establish its own identity, separate from the Roman Empire.
