The paper discusses a single find of a Roman coin – a subaerat Gallienus antoninianus – a random finding from the Pustý hrad (Deserted) Castle in Zvolen. The finding corroborates the view that the site was settled in the Early or Late Roman Period. The coin is a Roman currency commonly used in trade with the Quadi. A thorough analysis of the coin allowed us to determine its age, method of production and interpret its historical context. So far, no similar contemporary findings of young subaerat antoninianus coins are known from the Danubian Barbaricum.
