The aim of the article is to draw attention to a sole find of a clay mold for casting counterfeit coins of Emperor Leopold I. The artifact was unexpectedly unearthed at the National Cultural Monument Pustý hrad (Deserted Castle) in Zvolen. In the 2019 research season, during the excavation of the rubble backfill of the flanking tower ditch in the eastern line of the Upper Castles fortification, five fragments from a casting mold were discovered. The item serves as proof of counterfeiting activity, and it is a unique modern find, dated at the end of the 17th Century, not only from Deserted Castle, but in general from the territory of Slovakia, as we do not know a similar artefact from other castles.

The presented article presents the unique find of a plastically decorated bone handle from the high medieval Pustý hrad castle in Zvolen. Its first part was discovered in 1996 during excavations of V. Hanuliak in the interior of the tower in the eastern line of the Upper castle’s fortification. The second, smaller, part was found in excavation season 2019 in the moat of the same tower. The aim is to carry out a complex analysis of the artefact with relief decoration and its setting in a wider chronological context. The relief motif on the handle represents a figure of a knight in a helm kneeling before another standing figure (a lady?) with her arms around him, pressing his head against her chest. We interpret the image as a love scene on the basis of analogies. From the historical point of view, the helm depicted on the knight’s head is important; it can be dated to the beginning of the 14th century. The decorated handle is a luxurious item which is an expression of table manners of the castle nobility.

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.
