Commentary
Cette hémi-sillique correspond au n° 582 de MONNAIES XI qui avait été cassé par erreur aux Vandales.
Ces petites monnaies divisionnaires seraient plutôt originaires du Nord-Est de la Gaule et circuleraient jusqu’aux tribus germaniques.
This hemisilique corresponds to number 582 of COINS XI which was broken by mistake by the Vandals. These small divisional coins would rather originate from the Northeast of Gaul and would circulate as far as the Germanic tribes.
