Summary/Abstract: In the Brukenthal National Museum’s collection were identified two groups of drachmas, issued by the cities Apollonia and Dyrrhachium. One group,containing 10 Dyrrhachium drachmas, have mentioned as discovery place the Apoșlocality. It is possible to been part of a hoard from Apoș already published, although we can’t exclude the hypothesis that this coins to be part of another hoard found in the region of Apoș. The second group of coins was named, because we doesn’t know the exact discovery place, Transilvania I. This name was determined by the fact that almost entire collection, excepting the rare coins, contain discoveries from Transylvania region. This group is formed from 16 drachmas belonging to those two cities mentioned before. The structure of this group is very interesting, because of the low presence of the coins issued by the monetary magistrate Meniskos.
