A woman walking across a freshly ploughed field near Kutn Hora, Czech Republic, discovered 2,150 silver coins from the late 11th and early 12th centuries, one of the largest medieval coin hoards found in Central Europe in recent years. The coins, stored in a broken ceramic pot and partially exposed by weather, were reported to authorities, prompting an investigation by archaeologists from the Czech Academy of Sciences.The hoard dates between 1085 and 1120 AD and includes denarii minted under King Vratislav II and Princes Betislav II and Boivoj II of the Pemyslid dynasty. Researchers say the volume and condition suggest the coins were not personal savings but possibly military payments or war-related wealth hidden during periods of civil conflict over the Bohemian throne.Experts from the Institute of Archaeology of the Czech Academy of Sciences are now stabilizing the silver alloy to prevent oxidation and conducting non-destructive analyses, including X-ray fluorescence (XRF), to trace the origin of the silver ore and assess trade and mining practices of the era.The site remains under archaeological assessment, and researchers expect the findings to contribute to broader studies on economic conditions, including inflation and purchasing power, in medieval Bohemia. Results from the analysis will be published following completion of conservation work.
