Summary/Abstract: The impressive object collection that priest Vasile Heisu has donated to Bacau Museum, includes over 1500 pieces, collected over the decades that the collector has dedicated to this activity. Irrespective of whether they are of archeological nature (tools, ceramics), ethnographic (folk clothes, household items), numismatics (coins, medals) or church art items, as well as the rarity of the old Romanian or foreign books – all bear the marks of the collector’s noble passion. Among the few items of numismatic value, donated by the priest, we have found a medal dated from year 1802. In the paragraphs below we are trying to identify the origins of this numismatic item.
