<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 24487854, member: 26302&quot;]Actually, both of those kingdoms led the evolution of copper coinage in this period. They invented 40 and 42 unit coins long before Anastasius reformed Byzantine coinage. The Byzantines simply saw what these two groups did, its effectiveness and efficiency, and simply copied it for the new 40 denomination, which had a symbol M that us Byzantine collectors have come to love. Understanding Ostrogothic and Vandalic coinage in the 5th century is important for anyone studying Byzantine coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
