Ancient bronze minimus (AE10) attributed to the Vandal Kingdom in North Africa, dating to the late 5th century AD. These very small denominations were intended for everyday circulation and are typical of the transitional period between late Roman and early medieval coinage. The coins usually display highly stylized or schematic designs, often loosely inspired by late Roman prototypes. Legends are typically fragmentary or illegible, which is characteristic for this series. Production was likely local and decentralized, resulting in wide stylistic variation. An authentic artifact of the Migration Period and a desirable piece for collectors of late antique and early medieval coinage. Historical Context After their migration through Western Europe, the Vandals established a powerful kingdom in North Africa with Carthage as its capital. Although remembered as conquerors, they preserved many Roman administrative and economic structures. Small bronze minimi like this one testify to the continuation of local commerce during a time of major political and economic transformation.
