A bronze coin struck in the name of Cotys I, the ruler of the Bosporan Kingdom, by his son and successor Rhescuporis II was found by chance on the outskirts of Augustów in 2017. This coin is a dupondius with a value equal to 24 units, as attested by the value mark Κ-Δ on the reverse. The finder, Mr Marcin Haraburda, handed it over to the Regional Museum in Augustów. Although the coin find does not have any clearly determined context, it is possible – on the basis of a general analysis of the inflow of the Imperial and Roman provincial coinage into the area of the West Balt Culture Environment and the broadly conceived archaeological context – to link the presence of this dupondius with the milieu ofthe Sudovian culture, which started to develop in that territory beginning from the Younger Roman Period.

Der Artikel widmet sich einer Bronzemünze von Sauromates II., dem Herrscher des Bosporanischen Königreichs (174/175–210/211 n. Chr.). Das Stück wurde bei einer archäologischen Untersuchung der Siedlung Trębaczów (Fundstelle 2), Kazimierza Wielka Poviat, entdeckt, die in die Zeit der Przeworsk-Kultur datiert. Vom Nominal als »Dreifach Sestertius« oder »Drachme« angesprochen, gehört die Prägung zu den zwei Serien von Bronzemünzen, die in die Zeit um 186–196 n. Chr. (Zograf 1951; Frolova 1997a) oder in die Jahre um 180–192 n. Chr. (Anokhin 1986) datiert werden. Der neu entdeckte Fund erweitert eine kleine Gruppe bosporanischer Münzen, die zwischen der zweiten Hälfte des 1. Jahrhunderts v. Chr. und dem 4. Jahrhundert n. Chr. geprägt und auf dem Gebiet des heutigen Polen entdeckt wurden. Bisher waren sechs derartige Funde bekannt. Das neue Exemplar fand wahrscheinlich in der ersten Hälfte oder in den ersten Jahren der zweiten Hälfte des dritten Jahrhunderts n. Chr. durch Kontakte zwischen verschiedenen Bevölkerungsgruppen im ost- und mitteleuropäischen Barbaricum den Weg zur Siedlung der Przeworsk-Kultur.

These observations we have to conclude, that with a high degree of certainty the coins of the Sindi were not struck in Phanagoria. It appears rather convincing that they were minted in Panticapaeum, as suggested by Gajdukevic (1971, pp. 59). Should instead Sindicus Limen, the later Gorgippia, be the origin of this coinage, than we have to assume that they were produced by technicians who used the manufacturing technology of Panticapaeum.

The numismatic collection of the National Museum in Cracow contains a small group of coins from the Illyrian mints (Apollonia, Dyrrhachium, Heraclea in Illyria, and Scodra), including two bronze coins bearing the name of an Illyrian ruler — Ballaeus (probably ca. 250 BC). Both coins come from a mint located on the island of Pharus (present-day Hvar). According to a new typological classification (R. Ciołek), they would represent Type III.1. One of these coins came from a collection formerly owned by Karol Halama (1871–1948), a numismatist and coin collector from Żywiec (southern Poland). It was incorporated into the collection of the National Museum in Cracow along with K. Halama’s collection (comprising a total of 2,574 ancient coins of various kinds), which was donated in 1946. The other Illyrian coin was purchased, among some other ancient specimens, from a Cracow-based collector in 1978. Both coins have been subjected to an analysis of their chemical composition with the use of X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy.
