UNCERTAIN GERMANIC TRIBES. Pseudo-Imperial coinage. Mid 4th-early 5th century AD. Æ (14mm, 0.89 g, 7h). Bareheaded and draped bust left / Cross; uncertain letters in angles (?-?/F-H or V?). Unpublished in the standard references. VF, green patina.
One is tempted to read HILDERIC in the obverse legend, but this is far from secure and the legend could be meaningless. Even if so, the coin does not seem to fit into the official Vandalic series.
