Comments
(en) This coin is said to be struck from the mid-4th to early-5th centuries. The prototype for these coins were struck in Siscia mint, and with those types being first struck in 320. With that being said, those coins commemorate the 5th anniversary rather than the twentieth, meaning around 335 is the most-likely beginning date for this entire type of AE struck by an Uncertain Germanic Tribe.
The denominations of bronze coins that are unknown to numismatists are referred to as Æ (AE), followed by the coin's diameter. The Æ part simply means the coin is made of a base alloy, and because the diameter of these coins is never exactly as intended, different numbers can appear after the Æ for the same type.
The exact lettering of the surrounding legend may vary.
