The Monetary Finds of the 1344th Centuries as A Source on the Foreign Trade Relations of Medieval Bulgaria

Summary/Abstract: The circulation of coins in Medieval Bulgaria in the 13th and t4th centuries served the domestic economic life, the import and export of foreign goods, realized by internal and external trade activity. The foreign monetary finds were used as a circulating monetary medium, they were collected and accumulated as hoards by the more prosperous Bulgarian population. The monetary finds, discovered in the territory of Bulgaria and partly of neighbouring Thrace and Macedonia, are examined in detail. Over 210 hoards of Byzantine and other coins have been discovered. First are examined the hoards of Byzantine coins. A review is made of the foreign monetary finds of West European origin - Venetian, Genoese, Dubrovnik, medieval Serbian coins and other pieces of West European origin and of coins of Eastern provenance. Some data confirm the existence of the practice to let out money at interest, but in general the circulation of the foreign monetary finds was effected in the conditions of a feudal society and of feudal public relations.
