Summary/Abstract: The article contains information about hoards and isolated finds of ancient coins found in Moldova in 2005-2006. With the help of modern metal-detectors a number of numismatic finds has been excavated recently. Only a small part of these finds are preserved in museums; some of them are kept in private collections and the majority is exported abroad illegally. This explains the necessity of publishing the chronicle of numismatic finds in the new series of the “Tyragetia”. It will allow to accumulate valuable information and also to provide scholars with important new data relevant for their research. We would be grateful to the colleagues from other museums, archaeologists and collectors for any information about new numismatic finds. The authors of this chronicle publish 8 ancient and 19 medieval finds, including 9 hoards.
