(In Hungarian) The possible and the most probable methods for producing silver-plated and silverd Roman coins are discussed. Bakos M.: I—

III. századi római subaezotus ezüstpénzek anyaga (Chemical analyses of Roman subaeratus made in the lst-3rd centuries) = Num. Közlöny 82—83 (1983-1984) pp. 3—6 and Plate I (In Hungarian) Eight subaerati were examined by means of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis. It^was found that the coating is silver containing 5—16% copper, and the core is a copper alloy of 92—97% copper and 3—8% other composition metals a*s silver and/or tin, zinc, antimony. The coins are similar to the subaerati from the period oft

Közlöny 82-83 (1983-1984) pp. 113-114. (In Hungarian) A Celtic tetradrachmon of Thasos type was examined. It was found that the core is made of a copper alloy containing 4,4% silver and 3.2% tin. The core is coated with a silver foil of ca. 0.05 mm thickness containing copper, lead, tin and bismuth in the order of magnitude 0.1%, with gold, antimony, zinc and iron being present as trace elements.

(1985) (In Hungarian) 15 silver coins of the Árpád era and 5 other coins of the same age were examined. On mountings of imitations the presence of Bi and Zn was found in a volume of 0.1% and 0.1 — 04% respectively. Three gold coins of the same age were also examined. These were assumed to be stamped by Saint Stephen and by the Byzantines. In the Hungarian coins the Ag, while in the latter the Cu content was to be higher. Experiments were also conducted on 14 Roman fibules and buckles in order to establish where they were manufactured. Six pieces of pottery were also examined for this purpose.

Közlöny 84-85 (1985-1986) pp. 79-86 - Plates XLX-XII. (In Hungarian) A number of coins of the Hungarian National Museum were examined by means of laser-microspectrochemical and energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence analysis. The only gold coin is most likely a genuine one. The four 10-poltura silver coins dated 1704 and the identical lead piece are presumably counterfeits from the 19th century. The authenticity
