DESCOPERIRI MONETARE LA BORNIŞ, JUD. NEAMŢ (SECOLELE XV–XIX) (II)
Numismatic Finds at Borniş, Neamţ County, 15th–19th Centuries (II)

Summary/Abstract: We continue the publication of numismatic finds from the medieval settlements of Borniş (Neamţ County). In the site of “Mălești” were found four coins: a double groat of Iliaș I (voivode of Moldavia, 1432–1433; 1435–1443), dated to the the first part of his reign; a local imitation (fourré) of a denar of Matthias Corvinus, a pólgrosz of Zygmunt I and a modern issue of Franz II. Only two coins come from the neighbouring site of “Obârșia”: a double groat of Bogdan III (voivode of Moldavia, 1504–1517) and another modern issue of Franz II. Most of the coins were discovered during the archaeological excavation performed in the medieval sites, in well-defined archaeological contexts. They seem to frame the most intense habitation within the two settlements during the 16th century.
