Archaeologists in western Bohemia have announced a remarkable discovery: around 500 gold and silver Celtic coins, along with gold and bronze jewellery, dating from the 6th to the 1st century B.C. The find is considered extraordinary not only in the Czech context but also on a Central European scale.

The first clue came in 2021, when an amateur archaeologist using a metal detector unearthed a fragment of a golden coin from the 2nd century B.
