On April 12 1972, Mr Edward Żuraw discovered a hoard of coins while ploughing his land. The money was hidden in a wooden box which has not been preserved. The find was taken care of by Andrzej Kutyłowski, the provincial Conservator of Monuments and acquired by the Numismatic Cabinet of the Regional Museum in Lublin. The hoard comprises 1007 coins, including 991 (98.41 %) Polish ones, and 16 (1.59%) foreign ones. The Polish coins date from the time of Sigismund I the Old, Stephen Batory and Sigismund III Vasa (cf. table cataloguing the find). The chronological extremes of the hoard comprises the following coins: a crown half-groschen by Sigismund I from 1508 (the oldest coin of sure dating), and Lithuanian shillings by Sigismund III Vasa from 1623. Thus the hoard was hidden in 1623 or in the 1620s. The hoard's total value amounted to more than 350.26 Groschen.
