Abstract

The article considers the rare golden coins of the Commonwealth of XVI–XVIII centuries, originated from the collection from Volyn (Kremеnetskyi) Lyceum. The Kremеnetskyi Lyceum was founded in 1805 and initiated by Tadeush Chatskyi, a visiting auditor of schools from Volynia, Kyiv and Podolia provinces. The numismatic study was established in the high school, based on the last Polish king Stanislaw August Poniatowskyi’s coins and medals collection. Before closing the Kremеnetskyi Lyceum in 1833, its numismatic collection consisted of nearly 20 thousand items. The gems of this collection were extremely rare golden coins of the Commonwealth of XVI-XVIII centuries. The elevenths of those golden coins are being kept in National Museum of Ukrainian History collection.
