Special Comments:
Probably issued by Gaiseric.
Notes:
Issuer is difficult to determine certainly as there seems to be no conclusive evidence that this type can properly be ascribed to Gaiseric only since this issue may have been struck up to the beginning of regal coinage by Gunthamund, thereby given issuance by Gaiseric, Hunneric and also possibly at the beginning of Gunthamund's reign.
