- Abstract
In 2010, one half of a silver gilded coin was found single near Vrchoslavice (Prostéjov district). Its prototype corresponds with an Ottoman gold denomination sultani struck under the Sultan Selim H (AFt 974-982/AD 1566-1574). The enthronizatioi'i date was identified, but the name of the ruler and mint-name is located out ofthe preserved area. The XRPA analysis confirmed solid silver basis and process ofgilding in fire. No such Ottoman gilded silver coin has been reported from Central Europe up to date. With high probability, the fake is connected with serious need ofgold during the Thirty Years War (and the period closely after that), and it is very likely of the local (Central European) provenance.
