Comment

During digging for a waste hole behind a sanatorium, 106 coins were found. As there was no sign of a container - only fragments of a fibula, a leather purse was presumed to have held the coins originally. Because of this the coins were heavily oxidised. Most, if not all, coins were available for identification.
