Based on the report of the farmer Andrejz, circa 3 m north from the place of KRISTENDORF 1. Probably, same hoard or same owner. The coins were placed in 5 ceramic vessels: One vessel - 107 sestertii; one vessel - 157 sestertii; one broken vessel - 12 sestertii; one broken vessel - 15 sestertii and 70 denarii were spread around. Most of the coins were dispersed right after the discovery. R. Egger managed to see 157 sestertii and 24 denarii.
