Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Thrasamund, who was the king of the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa from 496 to 523 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 the fact that it was made of silver suggest that it was a valuable and important form of currency during that time period.
