Summary/Abstract: This study aims to discuss the four medieval coins discovered by chance in the boundary of Măderat commune. Three belong to the Kingdom of Hungary: a quarting of Zsigmond Luxemburgi, a denarof Ulászló I and a denar of Hunyadi Mátyás. One piece, a denar of Ferdinand I, belongs to the Holy Roman Empire. Even if the discussed pieces are simple stray finds, they mirror the preponderant Hungarian coin issues dominating the coinage circulation in the Transylvanian-Banat area during the 15th–16th centuries.
