The old finds of medieval and modern coins from the archives of the Coin Room of the National Museum in Cracow. Part one

The article comprises information on certain coin finds which found their way to the National Museum in Cracow between the years 1903-1930. It comes from the Day-books and the Purchase Catalogue for the years 1902-1932 drawn by Mrs. Maria Fredro-Boniecka, D.A., the head of the Coin Room in the years 1931-1958. Some of the finds presented herein have never been published before, others already known from literature, could be completed with additional data. Unfortunatelly it is not possible to attribute to them definite coins kept at present in the Numismatic Department, which has been influenced among other things by the entire collection having been poured into barrels during both the World Wars, as well as the exchange or selling practices of the coins' doublets applied up to 1939. In certain cases it has been possible to additionally specify the finding places or circumstances of both single coins and hoards
