  • Subiect: The third coin hoard of Zalău, 16th-17th century The paper deals with a hoard found in 1973 in the town of Zalău and kept in the local Museum. It consists of 696 silver coins issued in Transylvania. Poland, in the baltic towns of Riga and Elbing, in Prussia, in Niederosterreich, Stiria and Carintia, în Bohemia, Hungary Silezia, in the bishopric of Olmutz, in Brieg, Liegnitz-Brieg, Württemberg-Oels, in the bishopric of Salzburg, in the town Liibeck, in Oettingen, Schwarzburg, Sachsen Neu-Weimar, Anhalt Zerbst, in Montfort, in Hessen-Darmstadt, in Pfalz-Veldenz, in the town of Goslar, in the provinces Brabant, Geldern and Flandem, and in the town of Tournai. The hoard consists of 4 thalers, proper, 12 patagons (Albertusthalers), 10 guldens (2/3 thaler), 42 orts, 25 Funfzehnkreuzers (XV kreuzer coins), 41 six kreuzer coins, 459 six groschen coins, 5 three groschen coins, 11 broad groschen (breite Groschen) 83 dreipolkers and 4 groschen. The authors give the full list of the coins and explain the monograms on them (sec f.n. 3-8, 11). The hoard dealt with presents; the general pattern of the Transylvanian silver coin hoards of the late 17111 century (see f.n. 34). In this connection the XV kreuzer coins and the guldens are new items added to the traditional ones, already existing into the second half of the 16th century and in the early 17th century (see f.n. 14-16). The presence of the XV kreuzer coins and of the guldens in the monetary circulation of Transylvania is closely connected with the increase of the Austrian influence and, later on, with the Austrian intervention in Transylvania in 1685; this brought the Transylvanian participate to a greater extent into the area of monetary circulation of Central Europe and gave Austria an excellent opportunity to get rid of the ill-famed guldens by putting them into circulation in Transylvania at their face value. The authors give a list of the Transylvanian hoards with guldens (see p. :121 and f.n. 34). The hoard, one of the seven discovered in Zalău, is a typical urban hoard (see f.n. 25) and accounts for the important commercial role played by the town. The coins issued between 1567-1684 were hoarded between + 1680-168-1. The owner of the hoard was probably a rich local merchant. He burled the hoard in the area of his own shop or house in 1685, when the Austrian general Carafa and some of his troops stayed in Zalău and in the region. The havoc played by the Austrian troops was beyond belief (see f.n. 30-32). The hoard of Zalău belongs to the long series of coins hoards (see p. 324 and f.n. 34), buried in these circumstances, after the Austrian intervention in Transylvania in 1685. It stresses once more the dose connection between violence and the burying of coin hoards. Key to plates I-II: coins no. 681, 683, 686, 692, 693, 694 of the hoard.
