Abstract

In 1966 a change of ownership brought to light a group of 36 Bohemian gold shell staters, to which two more of the same provenance were added in 1972. According to the former owner they form part of a hoard from western Bohemia that had been in the family for three generations and was therefore recovered before 1900; a gold spider is said to have belonged to it, now untraced. The pieces were recorded, weighed and preserved in plaster casts at Munich, since the originals had to be returned. Uniformity, numerous die links and mint-fresh preservation without traces of circulation confirm a hoard of Boian staters, deposited in the first half of the first century BC.
