Abstract
The article is devoted to the publication of the coin-item deposit discovered in 2020 in the North-Western Ladoga region (Republic of Karelia, RF). This is the first discovery of a hoard of silver items in the region over the past 100 years. The article analyzes numismatic items and artifacts of the hoard, presents the results of X-ray fluorescence analysis of the composition of artifact alloys. In total, the hoard included 16 items made of high-grade silver, preserved in the form of whole items and fragments. The numismatic part of the complex is represented by 10 silver coins in the form of Kufic dirhams, their imitations, as well as Western European denarii. The monetary collection of the hoard was probably completed no later than the beginning of the 11 th century. Then the coins continued their existence in the form of jewelry. The overall dating of the items in the hoard makes it possible to attribute its final formation to the 12 th century.
