The coin hoard was found by Lakatos Attila while metal detecting on June 13, 2022, on the territory of the locality of Salcuta (commune Sânmihaiu de Câmpie, Bistrita-Nasaud County, Romania) (map 1), at the boundary spot called Hodaie – Padurea Satului. According to the Romanian legislation, the artefacts were firstly submitted to the mayor hall of the residence commune Sânmihaiu de Câmpie from where they were sent to the County Department for Culture Bistri?a-Nasaud. At present they are in the custody of the County Museum Complex in Bistrita. The place is located approximately 1 km SW of the village of Salcuta on a pasture field (figure 1). The hoard was retrieved from a depth of 50–45 cm on a slight slope. In order to extract the hoard, a pit of 60 × 50 cm was dug out by he finder who has extended the area of digging 180 × 120 m and 15 cm deep, checking for possible coins left over.
