Notes:Oct 22, 09 - This is one of a number of coins currently being sold as part of a hoard "found a few kilometres to the south of town Smederova [in Eastern Serbia] in a depth of three metres. Since there’s no oxygen in this depth, no harmful corrosion could occur. That’s the reason why all coins - as usual for hoard coins - have an extremely fine, perfect condition. Every coin is extremely fine !" These coins are all modern copies.
