    Here's another interesting Vandalic-era imitatative, or which I know nothing:
    Vandalic2.jpg
    Size is 10.2 x 10.7 mm, weight is 1.2g.
    The inscriptions and mint mark are gibberish, they do not appear to be Latin letters. The reverse looks like Victory with a barbarous cross or tau-rho in the left field.

    Stylistically, the coin reminds me of Iberian celts, but I'm not sure if they were still around when this coin was made, which I'm guessing was probably around the mid 5th-early 6th century. Were they conquered/absorbed by the Vandals or Visigoths, or did they maintain a separate identity?

    Anyway, if anyone has any other information or thoughts about this coin (or the other I posted) I'd sure appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.

    Interesting coin but I'm helpless as far as attribution goes.
