NEW DATA ON THE MEDIEVAL COIN HOARD FROM COSTEȘTI (VASLUI COUNTY, ROMANIA)

Summary/Abstract: Almost 60 years ago, in the area of the Costești commune (Vaslui county), at the place called "Izvoare Dinga", a hoard of 176 Medieval coins was discovered. The information available in the document, concluded on the 14th September 1964, attests to the handing over of a hoard of Polish silver coins from the 17th century to the Museum of History of Moldavia in Iasi, by Gheorghe Gh. Vasluianu II. Currently, the batch of coins from Costești can be found in the collection of the Numismatic Cabinet of the Institute of Archaeology from Iasi. On various occasions, the coin hoard has been flagged and briefly outlined in the scientific literature, without the numismatic material being published in full. Therefore, in the following, we intend to present the entire monetary lot, consisting of pieces originating from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth (115 pcs.), Kingdom of Hungary (7 pcs.), the Holy Roman Empire (45 pcs.), Kingdom of Spain (1 pcs.), Principality of Transylvania (1 pcs.), Kingdom of Sweden (2 pcs.) and the Republic of the United Provinces (5 pcs.).
