Rezumat

At the present stage, more than 70 cases of finds of ancient coins have been documented on the territory of Ukrainian right bank forest steppe. In chronological terms, it cover the period from the VI/V to the III century BC. In 2019 near the village of Levkivka in Kirovograd region was found the new ancient coin. It is dated 359-323 BC. The product found here belongs to the circle of coins of Philip II of Macedon. In the Ukrainian forest steppe, only two finds of such coins are known. The coin is round in shape, the surface is slightly concave. Diameter – 1.51.7 cm. Weight – 6.3 g. On the obverse – the image of Apollo in a wreath in profile (right), to the left of the head is marked with the letter “A”. A circle of dots on the edge of the coin. Part of the image is damaged by oxides. The reverse depicts a rider on a horse. In the upper part the inscription is erased, the letters “ΛІ” are traced, in the lower part under the horse the letter “P” (?) Is erased. The coin is stored in the funds of the Ninel Bokiy Archaeological Museum of the Volodymyr Vynnychenko Central Ukrainian State Pedagogical University. It dates from 359-323 BC Such products are marked by stable standards of images and weight. The main centers of coinage under Philip II were Pela and Amphipolis. They were also minted some time after his death. Coinage in several courts at the same time is considered one of the main innovations of the ruler. The marks and letters on the products are interpreted by researchers as markers of the centers of their release and copyright marks of the persons responsible for the manufacture. Coins with the image of Apollo on the obverse and a rider on the reverse belong to the most common type of Philip coins in Macedonia. It is assumed that the coins of the Macedonian state could get into the forest steppe together with the coins of the Black Seacities, or as a result of military campaigns of the Scythians in Macedonia in the IV century BC. The artifact presented in the publication is an important addition to the collection of antique coins from the forest steppe, because Macedonian coins are quite rare here. The finding of a similar coin near Raigorod, where, in addition, Olbian coins were recorded, suggests that it was because of the Olbian merchants that the coins of Philip II of Macedon could have entered the forest steppe. In this context, another observation is also interesting. The settlement of the Scythian time in the Siniukha basin is unknown. But graves of the VII-IV centuries BC were discovered here, which, according to the funeral rite and accompanying material, gravitate towards the monuments of the steppe region. In science, the prevailing opinion is that in the Scythian time the basins Southern Bug River and the Siniukha River played the role of an important transport system through which Greek goods were transported from Olbia to the Tyasminsky region. New finds of antique coins on the Right Bank in places remote from settlements allow us to consider them as one of the markers of the trade routes in the Scythian time.
