Roman coins description based on autopsy of coins (A. Kéfélian). Hoard discovered at 2 km East of Saṙnakunk village. It was found between two small mounds. The rainwater exposed the soil and a clay vessel that had been deposited at a depth of 10-15 cm. The collective farmers collected the clay vessel and discovered coins. Then, they allocated the hoards to a number of farmers. Several expeditions and researchers went sent to gather the coins from the hoard. For a more details history of the recovery of the hoard, see Pachomov VI, M. Shakhnazaryan's papers and X. Musheghian's book.
