- Abstract
Money has been forged for centuries in very different ways, but the reason has not changed at all. Two hoards of the Prague grossi brought evidence of forging activities during the grossi period, and two forgeries were registered there. The grossi struck under Charles IV were forged, and both hoards were discovered in the territory of the former Grand-Duchy of Lithuania. The coins came there via trade. The Prague grossi were attributed using the actual typology, and the burial date was analyzed. Both forgeries have been tested and non-destructive analysis of metal composition has been performed.
