| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays the value numeral XXV in large characters, denoting 25 denarii, beneath a horizontal line or bar in the standard issue; the inscription D · N appears above the bar. The entire composition is enclosed within a wreath border, following late Roman provincial monetary conventions. The die work is characteristically rough, with variable flan preparation and irregular striking pressure common to Vandal hammered silver issues. Some specimens exist with the value rendered in inverted form as VXX, and others lacking the bar above the inscription entirely. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gunthamund ruled the Vandal Kingdom from 484 to 496, a reign marked by the abandonment of his predecessor Huneric's aggressive anti-Nicene persecution and a tentative rapprochement with the Catholic clergy of North Africa. This silver denomination was struck at Carthage, the former Roman provincial capital the Vandals had held since 439 — and the mint continued operating with enough Roman institutional memory that the coinage retained recognizable late imperial conventions in form if not in weight.
At 0.32 g, these are among the lightest silver issues in the post-Roman West. Die alignment and flan preparation on surviving examples suggest small-batch production, almost certainly for specific transactional or administrative purposes rather than broad circulation.
