The circumstances of the finding and&nbsp;geographical location of the find have been described. An attempt to classify, attribute, typify and&nbsp;date the set of 21 coins of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, Bavaria and the Baltic estates of&nbsp;Sweden has been done. The set is divided into three groups.&nbsp;Group A – 2 silver solidus and double denarius of Sigismund III Vasa (1587-1632); 2 copper&nbsp;solidus of John II Casimir (1587-1632); Group B – silver Kreutzer (‘napyvbatchen’) of Duchy of&nbsp;Bavaria (coinage of Maximilian I (1598-1651). Group С: 15 silver solidus of the Baltic estates of&nbsp;Sweden (coinage of Christina Augusta (1632-1654), Charles X Gustav (1654-1660) and Charles XI (1660-1697).&nbsp;6 Riga solids with monograms of Christina Augusta and Charles X Gustav have obvious&nbsp;signs of belonging to Suceava imitations and represent the subgroup of typical coins for the&nbsp;monetary circulation of Ukrainian lands of the second half of the XVII century.&nbsp;Relatively small number of coins, their small denominations, belonging to the same period of&nbsp;currency and about the same degree of wear is likely show that the revealed numismatic set does not belong to the category of treasure, but is lost or hidden, and a later lost purse belonging to a&nbsp;poor owner, most likely a peasant. All circumstances indicate that this money was delayed by the&nbsp;owner not for long-term storage, but for the implementation of current small purchases.&nbsp;The Billon Solidus of the Livonian Duchy with the monogram of Charles XI with significant&nbsp;traces of wear is the oldest coin. Data about coinage of solidus with the monogram of Charles XI of the State Mint in Riga introduced into scientific usage by the author allows to claim that a coin of&nbsp;this denomination could get into ’a wallet’ from Lytvynivka not earlier of the beginning of 70ies of&nbsp;XVII century. The coins found by the author represent a typical numismatic complex for cash&nbsp;turnover of the Right Bank Kiev Region in the second half of the XVII century.</p&gt;}, number={1}, journal={The Ukrainian Numismatic Annual}, author={Potyl’chak, Oleksandr}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={108-121} }
