Thanks for the comments guys! Yup, I feel that this is certainly my calling in ancient coin collecting; I find this era very fascinating.

Another great addition! The dark ages for poor west Rome.

These guys are so teensy. How big is this one?

It's a decanummium so should be in the 15-17 mm range. The Ostrogoths put a little more meat into their bronze coins than the Romans before them did

Woah! Thats huge! Mustve dwarfed the circulating Roman coins. And a clear monogram. I wonder how many of these are found and thrown into culls piles? Its not the classic mini-minim size, after all!

Yes but they still came up pretty short compared to those Byzantine folles that were circulating just east to the Ostrogoths

Thanks ben. Yeah, it is a bit chunky in hand, esp for a coin of its size.
