- The number of coin and isolated artefacts treasures in the modern period (XVI–XVIII centuries) undergoes, first and foremost, statistical and hypothetical analyses. In contrast to the early medieval period, coin treasures found in the Polish land contain coin-shaped gold and silver bullion, but not gold bars, the so-called “placki” – pieces of bullion, although items of everyday use (trays, jugs, chalices, goblets, gravy-boats, etc.) made of precious metals, often decorated with European coins, can be found. It was not unusual to recast coins and medals into medallions and medals in pedants or in decorated belts, which were often studded with ancient coins. One has to remember about a specific role of the coin hidden in the form of a treasure or isolated artefacts. Firstly, it was used as a means of payment and its value was regulated by law. In the case of foreign coins in circulation in the Polish territory, legal regulations were replaced by evaluation tables, which were available to merchants, bankers and all those who officially dealt with money circulation. The function of the coin as a circular means was also very important. Still, not everybody realizes that the coin fulfilled another vital function – it was a means of accumulation of assets – which seemed essential from the point of view of those hiding coin treasures. In the times of economic, political and military unrest, it was the most convenient to accumulate movable property in the form of coins. The appendix attached to this article contains dishes dated by coin treasures from the discussed period.
