Erwin Schäffer, Romania - Designs, Pattern Coins and Catalogue of Issued Coins. Vol II

"Nothing is more revealing about the self-understanding of a country than the images, symbols and persons it choses as self-representation on coins. A coin’s path of development is likewise particularly important in this regard. It says a lot about the society and the image of women when – to mention an example from Swiss numismatics – a Federal Council can take exception to the frivolity of a forelock of Helvetia to the effect that the artist is forced to submit a defrivolitized version of his
 Helvetia.

Erwin Schäffer, Romania - Designs, Pattern Coins and Catalogue of Issued Coins. Vol II. Guttenbrunn 2015. 480 p., color illustrations throughout. Hardcover. Thread stitching. 21 x 30 cm. ISBN 978-973-0-19455-5. 65 euros.

This is why Erwin Schäffer’s catalog of Romanian coins, patterns and essays is considerably more than a simple price guide. It presents the material required to assess how much the self-understanding of Romania has changed after the abolition of communism, which people, events and images are deemed supportive of the state nowadays, thereby replacing the most favorite motif of the past, the oil refinery. The work prepared by Schäffer is impressive. In format and numbering, it is a follow-up of the first volume about Romanian coinage that focused on the coins and essays between 1860 and 1989. This time, the catalog proper is preceded by an introduction into the monetary policy in post-communist Romania, written by Silviu Cerna. A contribution of Johann Jakob gives an outlook of Romania’s current position in the development towards the euro.
The catalog is next, divided into patterns and issued coins. Every piece has a thorough description, with mintage, as far as is known, and further specifics of numismatic importance. As for the pattern and commemorative coins, a price is given for the grade “proof” while the section on circulating coins states prices for up to five different grades. Design drawings, where available, have been incorporated into the pattern section.
Convenient, in terms of chronological overview, is a table that lists all coins with their specific issuing date.
Furthermore, the author has included both the coin sets and some private sets in his catalog.
Information about the national mint, artists and Romanian monetary acts conclude the new standard work of reference on present-day Romanian coinage." (Ursula Kampmann,  http://www.coinsweekly.com/en/News/4?&id=3840)

Un tanar din Piatra Neamt a descoperit 167 denari imperiali romani

Un tanar din Piatra Neamt a descoperit intr-o localitate din judet un tezaur format din 167 de denari imperiali romani din argint si o brosa metalica sub forma de stea, relateaza Agerpres.
Rocsana Josanu, directorul Directiei de Cutura Neamt, a declarat, marti, presei ca descoperirea a fost facuta in satul Hirtop din comuna Birgaoani.
"O noua descoperire intamplatoare de bunuri arheologice a fost facuta in localitatea Hirtop. Toate piesele sunt in stare buna de conservare si au fost predate, marti, Directiei Judetene pentru Cultura Neamt", a declarat Rocsana Josanu.
Piesele arheologice vor fi predate pentru a intregi colectiile Complexului Muzeal Judetean Neamt.
Marius Irimia, cel care a descoperit tezaurul, este un impatimit al cercetarilor arheologice. El si-a achizitionat un detector de metale si de-a lungul timpului a cercetat siturile arheologice din judet.
Anterior acestei descoperiri, el a gasit, in urma cu o luna de zile, un tezaur de 200 de denari imperiali romani din argint in localitatea Ruginoasa.
Denarii imperiali sunt datati din secolele I-III dupa Hristos.

Comoara de pe strada Beau din Somerset

Au gasit englezii o comoara cu adevarat uriasa: 17500 monede romane din argint. Va lasam sa cititi articolul  si sa va minunati.
"The Beau Street Hoard, found in Bath, Somerset, is the fifth-largest hoard ever found in Britain and the largest ever discovered in a British Roman town. It consists of an estimated 17,500 silver Roman coins dating from between 32 BC and 274 AD. The hoard was found on Beau Street about 150 metres (490 ft) from the town's Roman Baths, built when Bath was a Roman colony known as Aquae Sulis.
It was discovered in 2008 by archaeologists from Cotswold Archaeology on the site of what is to be a new pool for the Gainsborough Hotel and Thermal Spa. It is the largest hoard ever found in the UK by a professional archaeologist. The coins were found fused together into a large block. It was secreted under the floor of a Roman building near the face of a masonry wall, within a small oval pit measuring about 40 cm × 30 cm (16 in × 12 in). The find's location makes it highly unusual, as hoards more typically come from rural locations. It was thought initially that the hoard comprised up to 30,000 coins but the estimated number was subsequently reduced to around 17,400. The hoard appears to have been deposited towards the end of the 3rd century AD; coins spanning a period from 32 BC to 274 AD have been identified by British Museum conservators.
When the hoard was discovered it was believed that it had been deposited in a wooden box which had since rotted away, but X-ray analysis of the block of coins by Southampton University has found that they had been stored in a number of leather bags. Six bags were visible on the X-rays, and two more were discovered as the hoard underwent conservation. Traces of the leather are still visible, having been partially protected from decay by contact with the copper coins, which repelled the bacteria that would otherwise have destroyed it. The bags contained the following:

• One bag of denarii dating from 32 BC to the 240's AD (the oldest being a coin issued by Mark Antony that was already 300 years old at the time of its deposition), plus a handful of radiates from the 250's.
• Four bags of high-silver radiates from the 3rd century, dating up to the 260's.
• Three bags of debased (low-silver) radiates from the 3rd century, dating up to the 270's, consisting of coins which had been heavily debased (in some cases so much so that they were mostly bronze rather than silver).

It is not known why it was buried but the period was one of great turmoil, known as the Crisis of the Third Century, in which the Roman Empire nearly collapsed as Britain and Gaul broke away to form the short-lived Gallic Empire. There were 25 emperors in only 50 years. Such hoards are thought to have been deposited with the intention of being recovered later once the troubles had passed, but for whatever reason the owners were unable to do so. Nor is it known whether the hoard was deposited in one go in the 270's or whether it might have been built up over time. It appears to have been amassed over a period of several decades, perhaps being redeposited from somewhere else. The hoard represented a substantial amount of value, though the rampant inflation of the time would have eroded its worth rapidly. In the 230's it would have been equivalent to about the same as a year's pay for 18 Roman legionaries, but by 301 it would only have been the equivalent of two soldiers' annual salaries." continuarea pe:
