Interesting fact
The Nummus - Hilderic (Carthage) coin was used as a form of currency during the Vandal Kingdom's rule over Carthage, which lasted from 523 to 530 AD. Despite being made of bronze, which was a common material for coins at the time, the Nummus - Hilderic (Carthage) coin was relatively small in size, weighing only 0.60 grams. This makes it one of the smallest coins ever produced during the Vandal Kingdom's reign.
