DONATIVA OF YAN KAZYMYR AND GOLD MEDALS FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF VILNA
Abstract
The history of the numismatic collection of the National Museum of Ukrainian History has more than 200 years. The basis of this collection were the three largest collections of Kyiv: the Kyiv University of St. Volodymyr, Church and Archaeological Museum at the Kyiv Theological Academy, and the Kyiv Art and Industrial Museum. The most famous was the collection of the University Mints Cabinet. In turn, the basis of this collection were the numismatic collections of the Kremenets (Volhynia) Lyceum and the University of Vilna, which were closed in 1831 after the Polish uprising of 1830–1831 biennium. Owing to the archival data from the modern numismatic collection, it was possible to identify 7 rare gold medals and donations derived from the collection of the University of Vilna.
