| Summary: | The author presents coin finds, which became known in the second half of 2019 and the first half of 2020. Only one coin belongs to the classical period, namely the antoninianus made of common metal of the time of Emperor Aurelian (270-275), minted in Cyzicus. In the north of the Republic of Moldova, a hoard of Byzantine coins was discovered, containing histamena of Michael VII Doukas (1071-1078) and 13 hyperpyra of Michael VIII Palaiologos (1261-1282), all minted in Constantinople. Medieval coins are represented by finds from the village of Costesti of the Ialoveni District and many coins found near the Tighina Fortress. Also, several coins of modern times were attested, namely Russian coins found in the village of Mereni of the Anenii Noi District and in Taraclia. |
