ENIn 2013 Edvinas Ubis has conducted an archeological research in Turgaus a., Klaipėda. During excavation 73 coins were discovered, 70 of them belong to the period of the end of 15th-20th century. Dating of 3 coins is impossible due to their poor condition. All of the coins are solitary, assemblages (hoards) were not found. Chronologically, most of the coins discovered, belong to the 17th century, whereas fewer coins from other periods were found (Chart 1). The coins of the end of 16th-19th century belong to various European countries and cities - The Grand Duchy of Lithuania (4 coins), The Kingdom of Poland (5 coins), Reval (1 coin), The Duchy of Courland and Semigallia (l coin), Riga (21 coins), The Duchy of Prussia (9 coins), The Duchy of Livonia (6 coins), The County of Reckheim (1 coin), The Kingdom of Prussia (15 coins), The Russian Empire (3 coins). The coins of low nominal value are more predominant (shillings, pfennigs and etc.), whereas much smaller amounts of coins of a higher nominal value (four groats, six groats) were discovered. The coins give information about the circulation of the smallest coins of the end of 15th-19th century in Klaipėda.The majority of coins in circulation were, most probably, foreign coins, minted in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth (ATR) and region of Livonia. From the second quarter of the 17th century there must have been more of the Prussian coins in circulation, however, the majority of coins were from foreign lands. The situation must have changed significantly starting from the 18th century, since most of the coins were minted in The Kingdom of Prussia. Similar situation must have remained in the 19th century. These conclusions about the circulation of coins in Klaipeda in the 16th-19th century must be regarded as preliminary. In the future, when there will be more coins discovered, most of the statements expressed, indubitably, will have to be taken into consideration and reviewed. [From the publication]
