| Description | An early medieval skeleton burial site has been discovered by M. Hložek during surface examination after ploughing at the location "Meřiny", near Nechvalín (Hodonín district). One skeleton has been unearthed during the ploughing process and the following objects have been found on the surface: several S-shaped earrings, a ring and a Hungarian denarius minted under Andrew I (1046-1060, see Huszár 1979, 32, type no. 9). The coin is undoubtedly described as an obolus mortuorum. Coins in graves of the 11th century were relatively frequent in Moravia. With exception for the denarii produced under the Moravian Princes, also Hungarian denarii have been registered. Circulation of the Hungarian specimens was studied by J. Šmerda in the 1980s (Šmerda 1989). Coins from graves represent the most important category among them. Some 29 localities with 96 coins have been known up to date. Denarii of the following rulers have been listed: Stephen I (47 pieces), Peter (1 piece), Samuel Aba (1 piece), Andrew I (45 pieces) and Ladislaus I (2 pieces). Then, the newly discovered specimen belongs to the period of intensive import of Hungarian coins to Moravia. |
