Summary/Abstract: The author presents four Istrian coins discovered in southern Bessarabia, whose state of preservation proves that they come from a hoard. These coins are silver staters from Group III, belonging to the Σ (1 specimen) and Y (3 specimens) series. Obverse photos of the coins were posted on a Ukrainian forum in December 2018. Later, two of them were sold on another section of the same site.
