The find is dated to the first half of the 13th century. It is assumed that the coins were minted in Brandenburg, Saxony or Silesia.
In southwestern Poland, near the town of Walbrzych, a dog dug up a rare collection of bracteates – thin one-sided medieval coins. Writes about it Notes from Poland.
It is noted that the coins are the first such large find in more than 100 years. They were in a damaged clay pot.
The researchers suggest that the discovery of such a number of coins from this period is an exceptional case, since new currencies could be issued two or three times a year, and previous sets of coins were melted down and re-minted.
The coins are in excellent condition, with mostly clear imprints and minor damage. They depict animals, fantastic patterns and elements of architecture.
“The idea to create coins from a thin plate arose due to the low availability of silver and less often gold ore, as well as the small reserves of the mint. Only with the discovery of silver deposits near Prague, they began to mint the euro of medieval Europe – the Prague penny, which gradually replaced the braclets,” they concluded. scientists.
Recall that physicists believe that time may not be. The researchers argue that time has no place in the new formulas for combining quantum mechanics and relativity.
