Abstract
This paper analyses and interprets the find of medieval silver
coins discovered in grave 241 during archaeological excavations
in 2014. This was denarius banalis coins minted during
the reigns of kings Béla IV, Stephen V and Ladislaus IV, and six
examples of Hungarian denars minted during the reign of King
Stephen V. The coins were discovered in the pelvic-girdle region
of a deceased male between 30 and 35 years old and were probably
placed in a bag made of organic material. On the basis of this
find and stratigraphic relations with other graves, this individual’s
burial can be dated to the last quarter of the 13th century.
