A ceramic pot discovered by detectorists in Bochnia, Poland, contained over 600 silver coins and four gold ducats from the 15th century. When it was uncovered, some coins had already fallen out. The vessel had minor rim damage but was largely intact. Experts later excavated it, revealing 592 Jagiellonian denarii and 26 silver half-groschen. The gold ducats were wrapped and stacked intentionally. The find indicates Bochnia was a significant trade hub. The pot and coins will be conserved and displayed at the Stanisaw Fischer Museum.
