Hi,

this little silver tower i found at a field one week ago. One of the in total ten coins fell down and i cleaned it.

The coins are denars of king Sigismund ( 1387 - 1437 )

Well they must be worth quite a bit. Were they all stuck together?

But don't they lose value if you clean them?

In fact yes, they do.
But i never sell my finds so the value is not important for me and in my collection they look better when they are clean  Wink

Hi Mrsimpson

Well I hope that you will find another tower to put in your collection. Have you any idea why they were staked on top on one another? they were definitely not dropped so there could be more . Were they close to something like a tree or a large rock?

We think that they have been in a small bag, the usual purse at that time. Either it was lost or someone has buried it. The coins started to patinate and sticked together, after some years the bag was gone and the coins still sticked together.

I found the tower in the middle of a field, it?s a little wonder that although the field was plowed again and again that the coins did still stick together. In mediaval times there was a little village in that area.

In fact i am pretty sure that it was a lost purse. In that time the 10 Denar were round about the daily income of a craftsman. For about 1 Denar you have get one bread, for about 2 Denar you got 1 liter wine, a chicken costs about 3-4 Denar at that time. So in fact the whole amount is not soooo much that you would hide it somewhere.

Yes the lost purse sure makes a lot of sense and that would explain the small tower so it could be that there was a road or path that led to a watering hole where you found it. Did you go back to look in the area? It would be great if you could find the exact location of that village as I'm sure that you would find some very interesting things
