Finn235 Pillar of the Community United States 6130 Posts	Posted 08/10/2021 9:10 pm Nice! I think the attribution is correct, but it's worth stating that I don't see any part of IVSTINIANVS, or the XIII that would seal the deal. The Vandals did produce pseudo-Imperial VOT coins in varying degrees of barbarity. I found one in a CNG lot a while back - lots of extremely late Roman/ Early Byzantine nummi usually cough up some interesting stuff Report this Post to the Staff
Victor Pillar of the Community United States 905 Posts	Posted 08/11/2021 1:29 pm It seems to be an unofficial issue because of the retrograde VOT on reverse. I have an example with VOT MVLT X in retrograde for coins like this, I don't think you can say with certainty who struck them...I usually write them up something like "possibly an unofficial issue minted in Vandal territory" Report this Post to the Staff
