Finds of Byzantine Coins in the Collection of the Moravian Museum. A Contribution to the Completion of the Register of Byzantine Coins in Moravia / Znaleziska monet bizantyńskich w kolekcji Morawskiego Muzeum Krajowego. Przyczynek do uzupełnienia rejestru monet bizantyńskich na Morawach

Abstract

Finds of Byzantine coins on the territory of Moravia are generally rare, and those kept in the numismatic collection of the Moravian Museum (Brno, Czech Republic) are far from numerous. The collection contains 11 individual finds and one small hoard from a period spanning the 5th to the 13th century. They were acquired mostly during the 1950s–1970s. Some of the finds have been already published in the past, others remain unpublished or only brief information without a detailed description has been published. The aim of this paper is the completion of the information on finds of Byzantine coins on the historical territory of Moravia or, as the case may be, a more precise determination of the discovered coins.
