Tatar treasure exhibited in Balchik

The Tatar treasure from the Kaliakra fortress will remain in the architectural complex "The Palace" in Balchik until the end of October, so that tourists can enjoy the exhibits found in 2018. Nearly a thousand objects were once placed in a clay pot under the floor of a room set on fire at the end of the 14th century. The find, which is usually stored in the National History Museum, contains gold and silver coins, gold jewelry, precious stones, buckles, bronze and silver buttons. Among them, the eight Venetian coins, called Zecchino d’Oro, made of high-quality gold with the faces of the then doges, are particularly valuable. It is believed that the treasure belonged to a Tatar military leader from the Aktav horde.
