00:00 In the Museum of Archaeology and History in Głogów, a permanent exhibition has been opened
00:06 presenting the treasure found in the city in the summer.
00:09 Visitors can see exceptional coins that were dug out from the ground centuries ago.
00:13 The exhibition presents the treasure of New Coins discovered in 2004 on Długa Street in the Old Town of Głogów.
00:22 The treasure consists of 5600 coins from the 16th and 17th centuries.
00:30 Almost 300 objects are gold coins, over 400 are thick silver coins,
00:37 and over 4800 are smaller, more durable coins, mainly three krajcar coins,
00:45 meaning imperial coins, and Polish półtoraki.
00:49 Part of the exhibition is also an educational corner aimed at younger visitors.
00:53 I am very happy, I am happy with such interest.
00:58 We have put a lot of work into its preparation.
01:01 It is a kind of exhibition in an exhibition, because it is intended mainly for children, of course,
01:08 but it is also supposed to be a place where everyone will be able to get to know the technique of monetary production in a simple way.
01:18 It is a kind of exhibition in a modern city at the beginning of the 17th century.
01:23 During the exhibition, we were also able to find out who finds this type of treasure most often.
01:27 From my research and analysis, it turns out that only builders and farmers find treasures,
01:34 or those who walk with metal detectors.
01:39 Because the treasures, as it turns out, were not really hidden under a tree in an unknown place,
01:48 but they were most often in the vicinity of houses or houses, or human buildings.
01:55 So people hid treasures in a place where they knew they would find them later.
02:00 If someone does not return this treasure and we find it,
02:04 it means that he most likely died in a tragic situation and simply did not tell anyone about it, about this hiding.
02:12 And he just won't come back for it.
