SUMMARY: This paper focuses on the silver coinage ascribed to the Gepids. The knowledge of this coinage, very limited until a couple of decades ago, now can be improved thanks to the online resources, which let us know hundreds of new coins issued by Gepids, and some new coin findings. These data allow to identify interesting die-sequences and consequently to better understand the structure of this coinage. The last Gepidic issues replace the imperial bust on the obverse with a frontal half-bust of a nimbate and winged figure that could be the first monetary representation of Saint Michael in post-antique Europe. RIASSUNTO: L’articolo riguarda le monete d’argento attribuite ai Gepidi. La conoscenza di questa monetazione, molto limitata fino a un paio di decenni fa, ora può essere affinata grazie alle risorse online, che ci permettono di conoscere centinaia di nuovi esemplari emessi dai Gepidi e alcuni rinvenimenti inediti. Questi dati permettono di identificare interessanti sequenze di coni e quindi di comprendere meglio la struttura di questa monetazione. Le ultime emissioni gepidiche sostituiscono il busto imperiale sul dritto con un mezzo busto frontale di una figura nimbata e alata che potrebbe essere la prima rappresentazione monetaria di San Michele nell’Europa post-antica.
