Votive with retrograde legend
« on: December 29, 2013, 10:05:05 AM »
I believe that this little coin is probably a Vandal issue, but with these types you can never be absolutely sure.


Vandal issue
Circa A.D. 500
10mm   0.75gm
Obv: pearl-diademed and draped bust with legend consisting of I’s
Rev: wreath surrounding TOV TLVM X (VOT MVLT X in retrograde)

I´d say, at least a contemporary imitation.

Is there any corpus-like or comprehensive overview of Vandal bronze issues?

Warwick Wroth wrote Catalogue of the Coins of the Vandals, Ostrogoths, and Lombards, which might be a bit dated, but is still a good place to start.
