Several sites with rich finds are known from the area of the Púchov culture with a wide range of finds. They include a mass find from the central Považie region, from the hitherto little-known site of Podskalie, on the flank of the Veľké skaly hill in the district of Považská Bystrica. It contains two examples of a hitherto unknown, new type of belt hook, a belt ornament and a pseudo-filigree basket amulet. A key, lock spring, cramp irons and two knives were also found. Several Celtic coins in circulation on the territory of the Púchov culture also come from this site, namely the Divinka, Nitra, Veľký Bysterec types, the Slovak or Kolačno type, the Liptovská Mara and Simmering types. The hoard and the coins date the site to the late La Tène period LTD [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Im Intravillan der Gemeinde Novosedly (Bez. Břeclav) wurde im Frühling 2019 ein ungarischer Dukaten der Königin Marie von Anjou gefunden. Der behandelte Dukaten stellt einen ausnehmenden Beleg des ungarischen Münzwesens auf dem Gebiet Böhmens und Mährens dar. Die Münze, die dem Münzen des Kammergrafen Jan Saracén zugeschrieben wird, trägt zur Erkenntnis des Münzsystems der ungarischen Königin Marie von Anjou bei, das bloße 6 Jahre funktionierte. Die Messung der Metallqualität bestätigte eine hohe Goldreinheit, im Durchschnitt 99,8 %, was den Dukaten aus jener Zeit entspricht. Der Münzfund belegt wirtschaftliche Verhältnisse auf dem Territorium des mittelalterlichen Kolonisationsdorfes des 14. und 15. Jahrhunderts, dessen Besiedlung mehr aus schriftlichen als archäologischen Quellen bekannt ist. Dem Finder danken wir für das Leihen der Münze für Dokumentationszwecke. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The hoard was discovered before Christmas in 1928 during additional demolition of the foundations of the Jewish hospital, under its foundations, very close to the Jewish cemetery in Prague-Josefov. It used to consist of at least 33 gold coins in a clay bowl. Thirty two coins are represented by the Hungarian ducats struck under Sigismund I of Luxembourg (1387-1437) in Buda (18 pcs), Kremnice (Kremnitz, 7 pcs), Košice (Cassovia, 6 pcs) and Velká Baňa (Nagybánya, 1 pc) before 1430, and one coin is English noble struck under Edward III (1327-1377) in Calais. The hoard is one of three known hoards from Prague with gold issues dating back to the pre-Jagiellon period. It was hidden under the wall of the building in place where the Jewish settlement expanded. The owners of the house - of various origins - changed quickly, and since 1440, the building has been owned continuously by the Jewish community. In time of the burial of the hoard, the house was very likely owned by the Prague brewmaster called Hanuško from Prague (1418-1429/1431, 1440) or by the saddler called Václav Paznehtík (1429/1431-before 1433). The hoard was not reported by the finders, the police detected them soon, and they were brought to the court and sentenced to jail. The National Museum bought the part of the hoard for the numismatic collection in 1930. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

During the rule of Sigismund I of Luxembourg, relatively stable gold coins (ducats) and several types of silver coins of different denominations were produced in Hungary. In the entire period, three basic types of deniers were struck in the following time spans: 1387--1389 (H 575), 1390--1427 (H 576) and 1427--1437 (H 578). The second type was very quickly affected by inflation, and possibly because of this process, the third type has replaced it. Besides deniers, also other small denominations have been produced, e.g. parvi struck in 1387--1427 with silver content of some 35.3 %. The ducats struck in 1427--1430 represent other small coins of low quality (18.1 % of silver). After the moment when their production had stopped, Sigismund I started to produce the coins of the lowest quality -- quartings -- in 1430--1437. Their content of silver was 12.5 % only. The quartings were also affected by inflation soon, which was reflected by their rate in relation to the ducats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2016, an Ottoman copper coin was studied by the authors in a private collection. It was reportedly found in Bohdanovce nad Trnavou (Trnava district, Slovakia). The coin was identified as the manghir struck under the Ottoman Sultan Murad III (AH 982-1003/ AD 1574-1595) in Miṣr (Cairo) in AH 982/ AD 1574 (in AD 1574-1595 respectively, because of the enthronement date). It is the earliest Ottoman copper issue discovered in Slovakia which was accidentally lost very likely in connection with the Ottoman raids against Hungary at the end of the 16th century. The remaining five Ottoman copper pieces found in Slovakia date back much later, to the end of the 17th century (Sulayman II, Ahmad II). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A new variety of the white coin struck under Ferdinand I is presented in the article. It is specific with its dividing marks in form of two five-foils placed at the beginning and in the middle of the marginal legend. These symbols, together with image form of lion and form of ornamental 'D' letter, are identical with those ones on the white coins of the Ferdinand's predecessor - Louis Jagiellon. That is why this piece was classified as the oldest type of the white coin struck under Ferdinand I. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
