A Celtic Stater Associated with the “Lesser Poland Coinage Group” from Site Kaliszany- Folwark 22, Discovered in Orłowiny, Opatów District, Świętokrzyskie Voivodeship
Abstract: This article presents a new find of a stater of the so-called “Lesser Poland group” of Celtic coinage. The coin was discovered by chance in the village of Orłowiny, in the district of Opatów, in a place listed in the archaeological heritage register as Kaliszany-Folwark 22, about 160 km northeast of Krakow. The coin in question is analogous to a gold coin from Kryspinów, site no. 3, district Krakow, and to a coin from the collection of the Cabinet des Médailles de la Bibliothèque nationale de France in Paris (No. BnF 8743). A preliminary chronological and metrological analysis was attempted with reference to the Krakow type staters. The coin from Kaliszany-Folwark, site 22 can most likely be dated to the decline of the functioning of the settlement of the Tyniec group near which the coin was found, i.e. the late-1st century BC and the first decades of the 1st century AD.
Key words: stater, Lesser Poland coinage group, Tyniec group, Przeworsk culture, Celtic import
