[Regnum] Archaeologists discovered a treasure of 24 silver coins from the early Petrine era during excavations in Azov, Rostov region, Andrei Maslovsky, candidate of historical sciences and head of the museum’s archeology department, told TASS.

“In a recessed dwelling of the 18th century, next to the stove, under a fragment of ceramics, 24 silver coins were wrapped in a rag - kopecks from the time of Peter the Great, the so-called scales, this is still using archaic technology, they were made oval,” he said.

Maslovsky clarified that this amount, by the standards of that era, is approximately equal to the per capita tax from a peasant for at least six months.

As Regnum reported, more than 100 thousand historical artifacts have been discovered by Moscow archaeologists over the past 12 years, the mayor of the capital Sergei Sobyanin said at the end of December.

He also talked about some of the finds this season. Thus, during excavations at the Chizhevsky courtyard, archaeologists discovered fragments of glass bracelets from the 12th century. A spindle whorl was also found there - elements of a hand spindle, carved from pink and red stone and slate. They also date back to the 12th–13th centuries.

In addition, several toys were found at the Chizhevsky farmstead, among which were a clay man in winter clothes and a horse from the 16th–17th centuries, as well as a white clay watering whistle toy in the shape of a bird. In addition, a white clay samovar and a faience cup from a children's doll set were found.
