Münzschatz von Podmokl, Celtic coin hoard in Podmokly, Czech Republic

The collection contains thousands of Celtic gold coins discovered in 1771 after heavy rains exposed them on the bank of a local stream.

The hoard, weighing between 40 and 50 kilograms, was found by laborer Janota who initially mistook the valuable coins for brass buttons.

The discovery represents one of the largest Celtic monetary deposits in Europe, providing evidence of economic activities during the first century BC.

The remaining coins from this substantial find are currently preserved in the National Museum collections, along with the original bronze cauldron.

Prince Karl Egon von Fürstenberg had most coins melted down and recast into 7,374 Theresian ducats in 1771 and additional pieces in 1772.
