Hoard of coins dated from 1891 at the vicinity of the village Sandatovskoye (Stavropolye province)

The paper considered the composition of a hoard of coins discovered at the vicinity of the village Sandatovsloye “of the former Medvezhinsky Administrative District” of Stavropolye Province. The part of coins from the hoard uncovered in 1891 by the village’ peasants, had been handed over to the Imperial Hermitage, where Markov A.K. had determined these coins. Pakhomov E.A. further published remarks on the hoard’s composition, and Professor Fiodorov-Davydov G.A. at the Moscow State University considered them for a source of reference when specifying peculiarities of currency’ circulation in the Northern Caucasus in the XV century. The paper made correction of several discrepancies once revealed at the domain-specific publications, and made comments on all issues of the coins that were part to the hoard. On the grounds of examination of coins, one could specify an expected date of hiding the hoard (i.e. burying in earth). The latter had been directly related to some specific events in history of the second half of XV century, referred to invasion of detachments led by the Sheikh Haydar Sefevide from Persia to the Northern Caucasus (in 1487).
