TY - JOUR N2 - 27 coins struck over the period from the thirteenth to the eighteenth centuries were found during an excavation conducted in Stargard Szczeciński in 2005. Two rare specimens are worthy of attention: a bracteate with two crosiers in pale with crooks turned outwards in a radiating border (no. 16) and a counterfeit Czech peníz from the beginning of the sixteenth century (no. 9). The Stargard bracteate bears a close analogy to the two bracteates mentioned in the publication by Arthur Suhle on Kołobrzeg (Kolberg) coins in the Middle Ages in respect of symbolism and size. However, neither the iconography nor the technique of the coin workmanship argue for its attribution to the bishops’ mint in Kołobrzeg. Due to the type and the findspot, the bracteate should rightly be linked with a mint of Kamień (Cammin) bishops, but not with the mint in Kołobrzeg. Similarity of iconographic motifs occurring on bishop’s pennies and city seals of Kamień might indicate that striking bracteates with the crosiers in pale and pennies with a figure with crosiers in hands took place at the bishop’s residence in Kamień itself. Thus the specimen from Stargard is the first registered bishop’s bracteate from the Kamień mint in Pomerania. The other rare, perhaps even unique, phenomenon in Pomerania is a counterfeit one-faced penny (bílý peníz, i.e. ‘white penny’) of Czech king Ladislas II Jagiellon (1471–1516). The Stargard specimen is dated already from the sixteenth century, on account of the representation of a lion rampant. On the original peníze, the representation of such a lion occurred on the latest varieties, struck between 1509–1515. The Stargard specimen has no analogy in the find material from the areas of Brandenburg or Pomerania.
