Abstract
The numismatic collection of the National Museum of Archaeology and History of Moldova contains a few monetary issues originating from the archaeological excavations conducted on the territory of Soroca fortress in the years 1968-1969. The lot counts 22 monetary issues, issued by the Turkish Empire, Poland and Russia in the 16th-19th century. These monetary discoveries were mentioned in the special literature published prior. Certain lack of concordance refers to the number and the origin country of the discovered pieces, except for the polish issues. The results of the reevaluations, as well as the signaled lack of correspondence, offer new data about the numismatic discoveries from the collection of the museum, discovered at Soroca fortress.
