Summary/Abstract: Four perforated Sarmatian coins were uncovered on the forehead of a Sarmatian woman in a late Sarmatian grave at Békésszentandrás-Fabó-tanya. All coins have a crescent moon and stars on their reverses, correlates with the widespread use of lunulae by this population. Fortunately, it was possible to determine that the woman wore the coins with the male portraits facing outwards.
