Rare. Minor traces of overstriking, otherwise extremely fine
Ex SBC sale 25 January 1994, 2808.
Acci first appears as a mint in the reign of Sisebut and being close to the Byzantine enclave could suggest that it was important in the first years of his reign when the Visigoths retook most of the enclave leaving on a small area to the North East around Cartagena. It is not known if Acci could have been in recovered from the Byzantine as the epithet Victor was not used as in the case of Barbi.
