Hello all,

I have this very small coin in my collection. I can't find an match yet. On the obverse you see a standing figure with a flower next to it? Reverse some barbaric style head...

Is this vandallic period maybe?

Art style looks Celtic to me, not Vandal or any of the post-Roman Germanic kingdoms.

Here is a nice page of Germanic coins for comparison:

It looks like a barbarous Fallen Horseman to me.
The flower you are seeing is most likely a stylised shield.

Hi Vince. I doesn't look Vandal to me either. I also think the reverse looks like a fallen horseman imitation.

Don't know if this will help much but I enhanced the image a bit.

It does look a bit like the Fallen Horseman type.
