COINS FROM THE LATE MIDDLE AGES FOUND

Priceless haul of 6,000 ancient coins found under farm photo 1

(Zenger News) -  More than 6,000 silver coins from the late Middle
Ages were discovered during a renovation project on a farm in the
village of Rainbach, Upper Austria.

The museum said the silver coins, which were handed over to the
OÖ Lande-Kultur GmbH museum in Upper Austria, also known as
Linz Schlossmuseum, “were wrapped in fabric and kept in a clay
lidded pot.”

The museum said that it is unclear how the coins got there and
who they belonged to. It is not known whether the coins that
were recently discovered will go on display at the museum.
