This type has been attributed to the time of Johannes and Boniface in Carthage 423 - 425 A.D., but strong evidence is lacking. We may more safely assume the series is later and copying official issues. The star is probably a crude Christogram or degenerated cross.ME26375.

Ostrogoths, 536 - 554 A.D., Municipal Issue of Ravenna

Germanicus, b. 24 May 15 B.C. - d. 10 Oct 19 A.D., Ancient Counterfeit
It seems these unofficial imitatives (counterfeits) were tolerated by the authorities in Gaul, undoubtedly because not enough official coinage was available to facilitate trade. The style of these coins clearly could not pass as official, yet many specimens show the wear of heavy circulation, and some were later countermarked.RB98192. Copper as, cf. RIC I Gaius 35, BMCRE I Gaius 49, BnF II Caligula 73, Hunter I Gaius 25, Cohen I 1, SRCV I 1821 (official prototype, Rome mint, 37-38 A.D.), VF, much of legend unstruck due to tight flan and uneven strike, light corrosion, scattered pitting, weight 9.348 g, maximum diameter 25.1 mm, die axis 270o, unofficial (Gallic?) mint, c. 37 - 40 A.D.; obverse GERMANICVS CAESAR TI AVGVST F DIVI AVG N, bare head left; reverse C CAESAR AVG GERMANICVS PON M TR POT, legend around large S C; SOLD
