This article concerns the discovery of traces on coins that demonstrate the recycling of dies used to strike Bolesław III Wrymouth’s bracteates. They are the oldest Polish coins made using this technique. These allow us to establish the relative chronology of coins of both types and to provide evidence of a common mint origin, contributing to the wider discussion over the nature of the issue of bracteates. Thanks to this, it can be shown that as long as a coin with traces of an older design remains unique, it is equally possible to interpret it as either an overstrike or a secondary use of a die with newly engraved content.

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.

The purpose of this article is to describe ten silver coins from the eleventh and twelfth centuries. They were found during the archaeological excavations conducted in 2012 at a cemetery of this period in Prząsław, świętokrzyskie voivodeship.

Common counterfeits of small copper shillings of King John Casimir, originally coined between the years 1659 and 1666, were researched reluctantly. The 17'hcentury hoard from Idźki-Wykno (Wysokie Mazowieckie County, Podlaskie Voivodeship), uncovered in 1969 gave us a new opportunity to take up this issue, thanks to its large representation of counterfeits.
