According to experts, the coins were minted during the period 1817-1912. After restoration, they will be given to the exposition of the Museum of Archeology of the Institute of Archeology of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

Supposedly, they were hid by a bank employee who once lived in this house on a rainy day.
