Abstract

The article is focused on a presentation of 16 silver calyxes owned by Mr. Piotr Maciej Przypkowski. These objects are adorned with various coins: ancient Roman (4), medieval (3), and modern (9). In addition to the coins, each vessel has Latin (12) and Polish (4) maxims as well as alchemic and astrological symbols under its rim. This is very likely the latest, attested in numismatic literature, example of historical coins being reused as decorative elements of vessels.
