Summary/Abstract: In 2014, an interesting ⅛-stater of the Pełczyska type wasfound in the southwest of Slovakia. This was the first discovery of this type of coin in this area. Finds of these coins usually occur in southern, but also partly in central, Poland. The coin was found in a place intensively inhabited in the LaTène period from LT C2 to LT D2, which place forms part of the wider hinterland of the oppidum there. Apart from this coin, more Celtic coins dating back to LT C2–LT D2 have been found here.
