Summary/Abstract: In unclear conditions, which exclude an archaeological excavation, a small hoard composed of six Geto-Dacian silver coins of the Inotești-Răcoasa type was discovered near the town of Hațeg, at the point "Valea Baciului - Dealul lui Văleanu". They are specific to the period corresponding to the end of the 2nd century and the first two to three decades of the 1st century BC. The modest hoard arrives in the local milieu from the north of the Danube, most likely ready-made. It is similar to two others discovered in Dobrogea that contain the same type of coins, more precisely, the hoards from Cochirleni and Somova.
