Summary/Abstract: The republication of the treasure found at Ungureni (county of Botoşani) opens up the path for further discussions on the penetration, circulation and accumulation of Escalin in XVIIth century Moldavia, as a common and stable currency, meeting the needs for small cash, in the context of the loss of the old Hungarian and Ottoman currencies of local circulation. After the restoration and the establishment of technical data, the 363 monetary emissions were grouped into original (187), counterfeit (171) with stamp particularities and completely worn out (5).
